My 1st Rolex (finally)
Here is my very first Rolex. I opted for a second-hand Sub C because of its versatility and timelessness. Also, the new ceramic model has a bit of a vintage vibe to it with Maxi dial and larger lugs IMHO. Thought about Explorer 2 and GMT but went with this at the end of the day. I am over the moon with this purchase. I've had it about one week and I'm sure I will wear it for the rest of my life, or at least until I give it to my son!

Thanks all! Really stoked on it.
Also, it seems that the hour markers have a bit of a yellow-ish tint to them that enhances the vintage vibe, again, IMHO. I'm just one guy, and definitely not a well-versed Rolex aficionado . . . |

Good choice. The Sub Date could be the only Rolex you'll ever need, but the truth is that it will probably not be your last.
Congratulations!
