Finally after 3 years being on a waiting list for my new watch, I got the call.
I have been waiting for this moment since 2022 when I was first put on Rolex's waiting list for a submarine date. I was expecting to get the call for another 2 years since there was a 5-6 year wait on this watch due to limited production and tariff's. this was supposed to be my 40th birthday present to myself but hey I'm not complaining.
It was definitely worth the wait, i have received soo many complements and I truly feel like I earned my first Rolex after saving up and working my butt off lol

@porwest I thought the same thing, they will show you multiple styles and watches but when the first time I inquired they said theirs a wait list. I didn't want to go to Manhattan either and pay 7-8 grand for a used one so it was worth the wait

@BACONSTRIPSXXX I didn't realize they had such a long waiting list for them. I thought you just walked into a Rolex store and bought them. I am assuming this is a special one, as you kind of alluded to that in your post.
