My first Rolex.
Just purchased my first Rolex from Rolex Boutique(Prestons) and was delighted with excellent service given by John,which made the day special.Superb watch.p.s.does anybody else think that the lume sometimes looks green rather than blue.

Sub never gets old, always a pleasure to look at.....lume does look green or teal in certain light, but it's definitely blue.
Congrats.

I thought my first Rolex lume looked kinda green too. Until I bought an older 5 digit reference (yacht master). The comparison definitely shows the new lume as blue.
BTW, the title of your post implies more Rolexes in your future! You've come the right place to be enabled! Congrats, your Sub is a great piece to start a collection.
