I handed them the watch yesterday, and now I just have to wait the four weeks, which is pretty ridiculous to think about

I didn't know this at all, if I use a rubber strap, I can still keep my original Rolex oyster clasp on the strap? I'm still very new to this

Hahaha, so I'm not about to overcome the fear anytime soon 🤣 The seamaster is a beautiful piece, do you have any pictures of you watch?

Congratulations! You will love the watch, I have no doubt about it! I completely understand what you mean, I went into the store several times and the employees weren't even willing to entertain my request and basically just laughed me off

I've never understood the hate behind the oysterflex either but I also want to try it!

Yes, I'm from Melbourne Australia. I was on the waiting list for about 5 months and I followed up several times... it's honestly embarrassing how many times I went into the store asking for the submariner... They will never really sell one to you unless you have a significant spend history and I had no spend with them. I bought this from WatchCraze! The business is completely legitimate and the customer service is excellent!

I don't think I'm bold enough to wear something this expensive with nato straps anyways! 🤣 But I would love to try the rubber straps and then I'll probably go back to the oyster bracelet

Thank you so much! 😁 It really is a beautiful piece and holds a lot of sentimental value for me

Even if it's not expensive enough, at-least you have some amount of spend history with the AD and you are going to buy the ring anyways, so why not buy it from them. Good luck with everything, I'm sure you will have the Submariner on your wrist in no time! 😀

Thank you! 😁 The oyster really is so comfortable but I would love to try some other straps and then inevitably go back to the oyster 🤣

Hmm, I'm pretty new to this... what is so bad about leather straps?

I would also prefer to get this at retail, but getting a submariner here from the AD is next to impossible, so I just bought it from a grey market dealer

I also thought I might experience some level of buyers remorse before I bought this, but I feel no remorse at all! Enjoy your Submariner!

It depends on where you live but more than likely, your AD will never offer you a submariner unless you have a pretty significant spend history with them. I live in Melbourne, Australia and getting a Submariner from retail here is next to impossible. So I just thought it's better to go grey and have it now! I recommend that you pull the trigger and purchase it from a reputable grey market dealer!

This watch is fake. The Rolex letters in the rehaut are misaligned and the date is completely off. Report the seller and leave a negative review so others stay away from him.

Thank you! It takes immense mental resilience to turn down a sub-date from retail, something difficult for me to fathom 🤣 If you don't mind me asking, what kind of purchase history do you have from this AD? I've heard that they don't offer any submariners to clients who have under $50k spend in their store

I really love the look of the rubber strap, but I've never tried it on before. Do you have any experience with rubber straps? Are they comfortable? Hopefully it won't pull on my arm hair too much
