My first Rolex (SUB-C)

For my 32 birthday my girlfriend surprised me with a watch that made me drool for years. Since I got this watch, I sleep with it, don’t take it off and I stopped wearing my Omega Seamaster 300 (2010).

Submariner is WOOOOOOW, just WOOOOW....

Special thanx to (http://www.local-time.nl/)

Congrats. You are now a member of an exclusive group: rolex owners. And even a more elite group: Submariner owners.

Okay, I'm biased, but I've owned a lot of watches in my 64 years and the Sub is my favorite. Versatile (yes, I wear it with suits), durable, and functional.

Enjoy. It is a beauty.

Locutus,
Thank you, I just love this watch. I loved it since I know about Rolex and Rolex Submariner. When I saw it in the movies or at the (AD window) I always told my girlfriend, see that’s what they call a real watch. She was tired of me drooling so much and surprised me with this brand new baby for my birthday. Now I drool even more

Well said!

Congrats on that watch! I totally hear you about sleeping with it on. You know you love your watch when that happens!

Congrats! The SubC is a wonderful watch and, in my opinion, the very best Submariner in many years. You have a wonderful girlfriend if she surprised you with a Rolex!

Again, congrats, happy birthday, and welcome to TRF!
