Hello from Indiana
Hi all,

About to pull the trigger on my first Rolex so I figured I'd join up, looks like an awesome forum, looking forward to being a part of it.

Still trying to decide between the black and green sub. I'm drawn to both alot and wish I could just get them both but gotta start with one. As it will be my first real time piece (a quartz Tag doesn't count) I want it to be one I hand down to my son and never part with. To those that have the Hulk and wear it alot, do you ever get tired of the green? I love the way it looks in different light but didn't know if I'd get sick of it when it looks bright green under direct light. I'm also gonna get the new Daytona whenever thats available at MSRP, crossing my fingers that's sooner rather than later.

Anyway, thanks in advance for the welcome and happy holidays to everyone!

Welcome. I don't think that you can go wrong with a Sub. For a first I would go with the Black Sub-ND Ceramic,114060. It is a great looking watch and is a classic in styling and looks. It can be purchased for the least amount of money, 6.5K from a Trusted Seller NIB and 6K Pre-owned from a Trusted Seller. Get it, wear it and enjoy it. The Hulk would be my second.

Welcome!
Is this a Christmas present for yourself?
Great time of year for your first Rolex!

I agree with IWilliam..black dial sub goes with literally everything.

Happy days.

Welcome to the forums from the Lafayette area. I don't own either but I'd think the black would be a better first watch that goes with basically any outfit.
