116610LV - My final Rolex..

...yep, tis true! After a month offshore, walked into the local AD on Thursday and purchased the Hulk!! And unless i win the lottery and buy the WG Daytona and Sub, this is my final watch! (for now!! lol!). First time i have owned a submariner, never been a fan of the pre-ceramic ones but after seeing my friends LV and trying it on, knew i had to have one! Love it! Pics to follow later this afternoon! Thanks to my local AD Jamieson & Carry who held the watch for me for some time!
Cheers

The Hulk is popular the last few days around here. After trying it on yesterday I understand why.

Congratulations. If I could buy one more SS Rolex, it would be the hulk. My grail has been the 18KT YG GMTIIC with green dial. My reality is the grail may never be affordable
With the ever rising prices of Rolex in general and gold. So, I may have to downgrade my desires. But, truth be told, the hulk would get lots more wrist time and much less vulnerable to scratches, dings and bracelet wear.

Can't wait to see yours.
