My new Submariner
Ever since I was a boy and saw Sean Connery's Bond wearing one I wanted a watch "like his."
Well, I've waited MANY years...and now I've finally purchased one! |

thanks everyone!
honestly....it might sound silly, but sometimes I look down at my wrist and still cannot believe I'm actually wearing one?! I love the idea that this watch will be something I will pass on to my son!

Excellent choice on such a classic model. My Sub gets more wrist time than all others (and I picked it up for reasons similar to the OP).
 Wear it in good health!!And as others have said, welcome to TRF!

I'm on vacation at the moment, but when I get back home...to all my lighting gear...I'm going to have a lot of fun photographing my new watch! Any tips? Hints? Requests? Links to some of your favorite shots? This one shot I've taken so far I took with my phone...
I'll share them when they're complete. |

I have the same story. It took 20 years, but I finally got my Sub too! I will also pass it down to my son. I only have one problem, I now have 2 sons so I will have to get at least 1 more Rolex to pass on. (hopefully 2 Pams as well)

I've just spent the past week at our place in AZ and have spent considerable time in the pool...testing my watches submersible abilities. All is well!
