I went to an AD today to see if they got anything new since last week. They just got in the SS Submariner 16610. I couldn't resist myself and bought it. They wouldn't reduce the price or give me tax off

Price after taxes came out to be $4920.

They did give me the first overhaul at no charge.

The AD have free lifetime buffing and polishing, and extra 2 yr warranty on top of the Rolex warranty.

I'm extremely happy with my purchase!

Thanks for all the help in this forum! Now, if I can only find the SS Daytona.

Congrats, wear it in great health and happiness. If you were to choose so, that watch would last several lifetimes.

Aoo Suthirat · 22 March 2006, 03:02 PM

Cheers

nice watch you got.

C.J. · 22 March 2006, 03:06 PM

Wow ! You don't wast any time, do you

Congratulations, newrider

Thats an awesome watch

Best of luck with it

Spencer · 22 March 2006, 03:09 PM

Excellent purchase

newrider · 22 March 2006, 03:12 PM

When I see something I like, I don't waste time getting it. Now I need to do some research of getting a Watch Winder Case. The AD had Underwood, heard from you guys that Orbita, Scatola del Tempo, and Rapport are good ones too? What do you guys think? Thanks

Launch Mini · 22 March 2006, 03:40 PM

Newrider, do you have any other automatic watches??
I have a couple & with careful rotation, I manage without a winder.
Just my opinion.
BTW, very nice watch ( I have mine on right now

)
I like your title of your post to, You are already "one of us" as your looking towards the next one already

Hot damn, I like the way this guy operates!

Congratulations and wear it in good health!

So you've got FOUR years' warranty?

Mr. K · 22 March 2006, 07:49 PM

Newrider,

A few things. First off congrats on an excellent watch.

In the other thread you got a lot of advice, grey market, tax, discounts.

For your first watch I think you did very well. I am glad I bought my first from an AD. I paid too much, but it was my first and at least I did not have to worry about buying it online, or if it was 100% Rolex.

You get your first OH free, that is worth something. You get lifetime free polishing, not sure how much you will use it, but it is nice to have. I have the same, but never used it.

And you are happy! That is the most important part. If you buy your second, third, fourth Rolex, you can look for better angles. But for your first, to walk out of the AD with your watch and know you can go back to them with ANY questions or issues...., well peace of mind has value too.

Congrats, now start dreaming of your next.

But IMHO you got one of the best. I will plant the seed that a DJ will complement your sub very well. Dress and sport, a watch for each. Or two watches that can do both!

Look at the picture above....you will see that the "S" of the word SUBMARINER is FLATTENED on top and bottom. Now take a look at the picture below and you will see that the "S" is rounded on top and bottom. Get the picture?

When did they changed that? Does it make a difference? Just trying to learn here, thanks

No difference, no worries. Just different printing from different printers used by Rolex.

Chinese fakes have the flat "S"

24 March 2006, 11:27 PM

I gotta agree with Paulie Walnuts. Only fake Rolex Subs have a flat 'S'. The correct from Geneva should be nice and round.
