Heavy Hitter Incoming! My first PM.

I took the plunge into full PM territory with a 116618LN! Thank you to all the guys that were a bad influence and pushed me over the edge.

I have a soft spot for the SubC and for the last ~18 months I haven't been able to get the YG version out of my head. I kept trying it on every chance I got. I know the LB is a TRF favorite but for me it had to be the LN. The black and YG just compliment each other so well!

Fantastic addition, congrats!! I am in a similar boat I have been trying on PM for over a year and can't get it out of my head and unfortunately don't think I will get one on my wrist anytime soon. Our tastes are similar, I really like how Rolex Yellow Gold and Black look together so GMT Gold for me. Congrats!

Congrats! I was torn between the LN & the LB. I picked up the LN 4 years ago. I recently added the LB and for me at least, the LN is the definite keeper! The LB might turn into a WG DD40!
