Rolex Sub: Out of the box
Discussion
Evening all,
I posted about this a couple of weeks ago, after SWMBO bought this for me from Watchfinder. It is a gift for my 30th birthday and after i had a quick inspection of it after it was delivered, it was put away until my birthday. Anyway, after nagging/bribes etc. she gave it to me today- slightly ahead of my 30th (10 days or so) !
It is a 2009 M44XXXXX serial numbered Rolex Sub 16610. I know a lot of people on here don't like the date/cyclops, but for me, this is my grail watch. I might flip my DateJust daily wearer, as I can't see myself taking this one off.
I prefer the body of the 16610 to the larger, squarer ceramic model. I have to concede however that the bracelet on the new model is much more solid in appearance and feel; the glidelock bracelet is also a nice feature. That said, I'm absolutely delighted with my Sub, it's a classic.
Thought it might be interesting to see the boxes etc. for those that haven't seen them before. I've also posted the obligatory wristshot which I will also post in the designated thread.
(Very happy) Vvroom
