My First Rolex!!!!!
Hi Everyone!!!!
I just found your site and I want to share with you my joy on purchasing my very first Rolex, a brand spanking new 16610 soon as I get myself one of those digital camersSubmariner!!!!! She's black with the bubble date and I love her so much!!! My previous passion (still is) is Omega. I have 3 of them, 2 Seamasters and 1 Speedmaster Professional (Moon watch). They are absolutely stunning watches, but I've always had my eye on the Sub, so I just had to do it. I'm so glad I did!!!! I'll load up some photos as soon as I get one of those digital cameras... See you all soon... |

Congrads on a Classic and welcome to the Forum!!!
Now take that Sub out and put it through the ropes! Swimming, diving, hard core adventure. A Sub is not a real Sub until you got a few dings and scrapes on it to tell stories about!! |

Congrats, but a warning: Rolex is very addicting.
 Your other fine watches will have trouble finding wrist time.dP

Congratulations on an excellent choice, and welcome to TRF! As has been stated before, the Sub is the quintessential Rolex (well, that's how I feel about it, despite loving many other models, too)!!!!!

A big, hearty welcome! Congrats on the purchase of a true classic I love the Seamasters, but adding a submariner to go along with your Omega Speedmaster is a great decision. You have yourself a couple of classic watches with a lot of history between the two.
