'NEW INCOMING !!! it's all because of you YAFAWY.

Hello Guys,
Would like to share my joy again with the TRF family, as I was so lucky today to find this beauty as BNIB or NOS to be more accurate, with P&B, stickers, and for very excellent deal!
Couldn’t resist the idea to be the first owner of a apiece like this, and couldn’t let such beauty to go, but unfortunately had to flip my GMT 16710, which acquired recently, and I’m pretty sure that I will regret it, that GMT was my first Rolex and will always remember it…
Again would like to thank you guys for the informative and inspiring posts, and my special thanks to “Yafawy”, btw he is a new member in TRF, and my partner in crime, who basically asked me to help him in acquiring a new watch, and both of us ended with new pieces, also would like to send him my genuine congrats for his new and elegant acquisition.
Proud to introduce my very new Z series, the One, the only, and the most Iconic… The 16610.

Much appreciated guys..
Like to share my thoughts why I took this move and flipped a classic for an icon:
This one is BNIB or NOS on the other hand although the GMT was in excellent shape when I got it, however it was used, and since it is a going to be the only Rolex in my collections.
The Triple Crown and how it gives more presence for the watch and more beautiful on my wrist.
Was little hesitant because of the dome shape of the back case on the Sub, but once sized it wears like a glove and it’ so comfortable and not heavy at all.
The price was very good for a NOS.

Congrats! The Sub would be my choice too.
You can always add a GMT again down the road.
