Congratulations on your first Rolex purchase. I’m sure it will give you many years of enjoyment. Prestons are my local AD and I have nothing but praise for the standard of service they have provided over the years.

Congrats! I have the 124060, as well. Quick tip - if you liked the black rubber "bracelet" on the Yachtmaster, you can purchase a black rubber strap for your Sub to get the same look. I purchased the Rubber B version (black), and you can use your Submariner clasp. It's a great way to get a different look - that looks fantastic - for $260.

Loved your video and your narrative style.. keep making more videos for us to enjoy.. all the best

My first Rolex buying experience was back in 1978, when the watches were considerably cheaper to buy, and there were no difficulties in owning them. Even back in the late 70s, the steel Daytona was a rare watch, produced in tiny numbers, but my first Roles, an Explorer 1655 cost me £524

Have both 116610ln and 126610ln. AT first could'nt dicide which on I like better. The more I look into it, I do prefer 41mm Submariner. The dail looks more legible and bigger. Nicer more elegant lugs. Does'nt look as blocky looking. I have an 8 inch wrist, Before I had to ware my 40mm sub loose on my wrist because bracelet was not wide enough, now it fills in perfectly.

Apart from the Daytona, which is virtually impossible to obtain new, at list price, from your AD, The Submariner is probably the safest watch to blow your hard earned cash on, as in the long term, it will retain its value, and if looked after and serviced when required, will go up in value as well. You will never lose money on a Submariner,

Congratulations on a beautiful watch I'm really happy for you ,I tried to enquire about this same watch with my local AD and they asked me if I had purchase history , and if I wanted this watch I hav to purchase another rolex watch before I can get a submariner

Bohot bari h bhaiya.. you should have bought daydate white dial..

In the last 20 years, the emerging market collector’s wrist size is definitely smaller so what is with the massive oversize clasp, oversize lug size and noisy movement. The BB58 is perfect at 39mm in case size, perfect 20mm lug size and thickness of just 11.9 mm….The new sub should have followed the same sizes as the BB58! The new 41mm is clunky compared to the perfect proportions of BB58.

Really nice watch, amazing experience, and beautiful unboxing. I love the no date Submariner. The 1^ of February 2018 I bought a new to me (2015) 114060 from a reseller and I wear it with care for about a year. The watch was in good conditions but I decided to sold it in January 2019 in order to buy a new 114060. The 2^ of February 2019 I received from the AD (after a month of wait and was my first AD purchase) my new 114060 that could tell my story from the beginning . What an excitement. I really love this iconic watch and I will never sell it. Greetings from the Dolomites Mountains- North east of Italy.

The good news for you is that the value of this watch goes up all of the time because there is a waiting list. So you can buy it, experience it for a while and then make at least what you paid for it back if not more. It makes more financial sense than buying a flashy car which will always go down in value. Having said that, I once bought an Omega Speedmaster and returned it after a week as I did not own a property at the time.
