My first Rolex Submariner

[Gunbucker]

Hi there folks!

Firstly, pls let me thank all the members on the forum as I gained a wealth of knowledge reading. This is my first post, and thought I'd share the good news about my first Rolex.

I've been eyeing on the iconic Submariner for quite some time. Since I already own (and dearly love) my Speedmaster Professional, I wanted an automatic with Date feature.

As I was looking around for one, I walked into the Hour Glass store at Ngee Ann City this evening. The sales person smiled, and asked me if I could wait 10 minutes. When asked why, he said "oh, new stock just arrived". A phone call came in 5 minutes later, "it's ready". I went straight to the point and asked for the 116610. He asked whether I would like to see the standard model or the green one. Feeling a little tired of sports watches with black dials, I asked him to show me the "green one".

So this is what I came back home with:


I love my new Sub LV

I enjoyed reading the way you've described your experience. Most importantly, I enjoyed looking at your new and beautiful watch. What a lucky man (well, hope you are male )!

So, welcomed to da club and congratz !!

Nice post. Lovely green sub.

Hehe he never ask "want to see blue one?"

[Gunbucker]

Thanks folks (yes, I'm male)!

As to the blue one, I had the pleasure (and the obligatory shock) of seeing one at the Rolex store in T3

Sui sui boh chao chui....congrats....

Thanks for the kind words! I paid above retail, which the sales person dutifully warned me and told me there's nothing he could do given the high demand for the Sub-C models. He told me their outlet (THG at Ngee Ann City) was allocated 2 pieces of the 116610LV and wouldn't be surprised if it gets snapped up within the week. True to his words, just at a few feet away from me was another customer getting ready to purchase the second "hulk". It's crazy.
