...my Z-series S/S Submariner! No stories to tell behind this purchase, or how it arrived, just a simple case of being a Rolex-a-holic and impulse buying. When will this madness end? I love it!

Gaijin · 25 August 2007, 03:11 PM

Hahaha! Nicely Done!!!!!!!

SPACE-DWELLER · 25 August 2007, 06:08 PM

Beautifull plastic wrappings!

Now TAKE IT OFF and make us a wrist shot!

Congrats!

JJ Irani · 25 August 2007, 06:10 PM

Well done, Jason....what a superb acquisition!!

Wear it in good health, my friend!!

Yes, I agree, but take that plastic off first, because I do not think it is healthy having that plastic on your skin in the long run

BiG JeEzY · 25 August 2007, 06:13 PM

Congratulations on the Sub!

About your "madness" ending, I dont think it will ever will! Enjoy your new Rolex for many years to come!

Very nice, congrats.

You're right Bo, here's a picture without the plastic. I will take more pictures tomorrow, time for me to go to bed. It's already 3:00 AM here in the Pacific Northwest.

Thanks JJ, it was an easy decision. And now after reading that superb review of the Sea-Dweller on the other section, I might have that one on my wrist before Christmas.

Thanks, Jason! Looks much better now!

Sleep tight and look forward to getting that Sub Date on your wrist tomorrow. That is what I look forward to each time I get out of bed.

Just my 2 cents, Jason....but why would you want TWO almost identical looking Rollies?

You have the superb Sub-date....so, if you are a steel lover, why not go in for something totally different (mechanically as well as in contrast)....like this baby!! Would contrast well with your black Sub!!

Edensknight · 26 August 2007, 08:29 AM

Beautimous! Can't wait to see a wrist shot of that gorgeous new SS Subby! Enjoy!

jasonbellevue · 26 August 2007, 09:59 AM

Thank you all for the kind words. You guys are the BEST!!!

Here are more pictures...it's overcast over here now, that's my excuse and i'm sticking to it.

I suck at taking pictures.

JJ, to answer your question, I really bought this one on a whim, it was either this or a 2006 Sea-Dweller, I tried the Explorer II and found it to be smaller than the Sub and the one on sale at that time had a black dial and not the white dial that had caught my fancy earlier, so it wasn't a hard decision to make at that time. I am a hopeless Sub fan, what can I say? If I see a good deal on a Serti Sub, I might even go for it. then I will have 3 Subs!

jasonbellevue · 26 August 2007, 01:56 PM

...and I almost forgot the wrist shot!

JJ Irani · 26 August 2007, 04:02 PM

Good stuff, Jason. How can anyone ever go wrong with any Sub!!

Thanks KansaiVet! Not that i'm saying my pics are great looking, but I wonder how many of the great looking pictures found on this forum would eventually find it's way on eBay, "borrowed" and posted by somebody else other than the original owner of the picture. Hmmm...
