Two years ago I walked out of my AD with my first Rolex - a new 39mm Explorer. Before leaving I said, half jokingly, that one day I would aspire to a Sub Date. My name duly went on to the waitlist, but I wasn't really optimistic.
This week, out of the blue, my AD called. They had a Sub Date and was I interested? I knew I could only afford to run one Rolex, so said yes, but it would have to be a part exchange. 24 hours later, I accepted an incredibly good offer on the Explorer and walked out of the store with a 126610LN on my wrist.
This one's a keeper!

Well done! The Sub is everything you could need in a one and only.

Congratulations

Nice watch!

IMHO I think the explorer was the one and only between the two.

Modern sub looks large and shiny. At $10,150 yes it should have more heft and shine.

Congrats, the Sub Date is a classic, lovely watch.

Congrats for the classic watch.

Congrats! Please post some pics of your new beauty. I am glad to hear that you received a call two years after you expressed interest at the time you purchased the other watch. I am already about 14 months in waiting for a 124060 sub after having bought another Rolex from my AD for my wife. It was going to be for my 50th this past April, which came and went, but if I get called at any point this summer or fall I will be equally as happy.

OYptL · 2 July 2022, 04:15 AM

It is the one Perfect watch to wear no matter what you’re doing. It’s the absolute best along with the 124060 Submariner. Congratulations.

You can never go wrong with a classic Sub date. Such a beautiful watch that will never go out of style. Well done! Congrats!

kane818 · 2 July 2022, 10:50 AM

Congratulations! I think you got an upgrade for sure. the explorer is a great watch but the submariner is more charming IMO

stark1 · 2 July 2022, 11:02 AM

Lucky you, congrats! Sounds you definitely didn't see this opportunity coming.

goldboy · 2 July 2022, 11:08 AM

Definitely a good trade but I would have kept both
