BatGirl VS No Date Sub

I’m picking up my “one” Rolex soon.

Previously I’ve owned

-Various submariners ranging from vintage to more modern, but nothing newer than 2010 or so

-Love the jubilee bracelet
-Don’t mind going blingier since I have 2 or 3 “beater” divers like my Sinn for sketchy travel (I go to a lot of rough countries)…

Rolex Sea-Dweller Club

Been searching around and haven’t seen one of these as of yet! Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Figured I’d start one up especially since the 126600 has been released. Would love to see some 16600, 116660, 126600 even some real oldies like the 1665 if we have some owners here!

Straps, bracelets, cool shots, let’s see them!

Here are some high res shots taken recently
