Got a Submariner!

Hello everyone,

Well I have had a bit of result. After ringing about 20 rolex retailers and being told by nearly every single one there was a long waiting list for all their subs, I did strike lucky when I rang Mallorys in Bath. They luckily had a black non date submariner in stock! Drove there early on Saturday morning and it was on my wrist by 10am!

Want to say thank you to everyone on this forum, everyone has been so helpful and I have posted a few threads on this and nobody has told me to where to go....yet!

So happy with this, did have an Explorer before but got rid of it to get a submariner! Very happy :)
