The Submariner (with date) 11610LN is my first Rolex (and luxury watch) purchase. I know many of you may be bored with this purchase since it's so common and safe but I chose it for a solid first high end watch.

I own it now for about a week; I love it so far. It is really a beautiful piece and has grown more and more on me now that I have my own, not just AD's that I took for a 5-minute test drive.

Oddly enough, the only "issue" that has come up with this watch is wearing it with brown loafers/dress shoes. I think a black watch and brown shoes clash. Am I crazy and/or wrong? Just curious, not a fashion guru but don't want to clash either...

Also, next watch purchase when funds allow will probably be Explorer II 216570. Sub 11610 and Explorer polar 216570 a good combo?

Congrats on your first and welcome to TRF! A safe choice, but still a stunner. And anything goes well with the polar ExpII! Congrats again!!

Nice 116610 Jim and welcome to the Forum.

You should wear it with flippers not shoes.

AASH · 3 February 2015, 04:21 PM

We never get board of Roli! It wears perfectly fine with any type of cloth! Congrats on this stunning piece :)

TheHulkManiac · 3 February 2015, 04:41 PM

Congrats! You cant go wrong with the subc. Welcome to the Forum

Explorertwo · 3 February 2015, 04:57 PM

Great Pick! Good choice
It was my second and if i only could have one, this would be the one! ( but i'm glad thst's not the case :) )

Looks great and if anyone tells you your watch doesn't match your shoes, avoid them as they are cray cray. Sub's a great craydar.

travisb · 3 February 2015, 09:50 PM

I wouldn't worry about shoe color. The Sub pairs perfectly with anything. Congtrats!

Psmith · 3 February 2015, 09:51 PM

Welcome and congrats!

Bangel · 3 February 2015, 09:59 PM

I have a friend who's a firm believer that the colour of the watch/strap should match that of the belt and shoes.

Not me though!

So I need shoes made of 904L steel to go with my BLNR?

Congrats, can't go wrong with a sub!
I own, mostly, brown drivers/loafers. I never wear black anything. And usually have a sub on. They go well together. Enjoy!

An outstandin first. And black goes with everything, IMO.

Congrats and yes the EXPII would make an excellent pair with the sub.
