A couple of months ago i decided on my first Rolex, a submariner 11610LV. I'm currently 17 and now have my Sub, unfortunately i'm not allowed to touch it until i'm 18. Is this a good first rolex to have ? I have also recently purchased a black bezel insert for it to be able to give it another look, making it more diverse. Overall i'm thrilled with my purchase and can't wait to be wearing it.

Here is a pic of it

Thanks
Matt

Welcome !

There is no bad first Rolex... if you like it , its the one for you ( I too like my green Sub lots)

Lanfor · 23 June 2011, 04:05 AM

Thanks

That is too true, but i couldn't decide between it and a brand new GMT II. I'm happy with my decision though

Welcome to TRF, and YES, that was a good choice. That one will only increase in value, since it is no longer in production. Well done!

Good Choice...much nicer than the Timex I was rockin' when I was 17!!

Lanfor · 23 June 2011, 04:12 AM

Thanks guys, it's good to know i made a good decision, as i sometimes lack good judgement :)

At least you HAD a Timex! I didn't even have a watch at 17!

phampau · 23 June 2011, 04:19 AM

Good choice!

That watch is definitely on my wishlist. You are a lucky 17 yo...

DCgator · 23 June 2011, 04:38 AM

Welcome aboard! Great choice. I love my LV, and I also have a BNIB black bezel insert!

mjclark32 · 23 June 2011, 04:41 AM

Congrats, the 16610LV is a great pick up. Enjoy it!

A.J.R. · 23 June 2011, 04:42 AM

Love it!

Lanfor · 23 June 2011, 04:44 AM

It's a relief to know it is a good choice, phew! I'm planning on changing the bezel myself fingers crossed everything goes to plan

ersnyder · 23 June 2011, 04:59 AM

Welcome to TRF Matt! Your new Sub LV is not a good choice, it's a GREAT choice! Congratulations, you'll love it more as you wear it more.

Lanfor · 23 June 2011, 05:01 AM

Thanks ! I can't wait to get wearing it

Abid · 23 June 2011, 05:02 AM

I purchased the same one several months ago! You'll will love it believe me! I never take it off my wrist. Enjoy your watch!

Great Rolex Matt, it'll be worth the wait.

Lanfor · 23 June 2011, 09:09 AM

I love new green sub too, mainly because of the ceramic bezel gives it a really vibrant colour. I sure hope it is worth the wait !

chicagofan · 23 June 2011, 10:29 AM

Congrats. Great choice. Welcome to TRF.

docmarioce · 23 June 2011, 10:37 AM

I have the same watch with a black bezel on and I love it. Congrats in your first Rolex and welcome to TRF. If you stick around enough it certainly won't be your only Rolex though.

Best,
