Good choice, wear it in good health! It was my first choice too. Classic watch, sport and dress. Suit and t-shirt.

Funnily enough, I've owned virtually all the sports Rollies, except the YM! But I bought that for my wife, so do I get a prize?

Well done, bogey. I know you'll enjoy it. And I hope you keep yours longer than JJ keeps any of his. But if you keep yours for a year you'll have done better than JJ at holding on to a watch.

The Sub is one of my favorite Rolexs. I personally like the sub better just because of the bigger crown, I think it fits better with this size watch
