Indeed, as per the second line of my post - it's nice to see some enthusiasm, even if it is a fairly standard watch (for TZUK). I am sure it's special for him - I still recall my first Rolex.
Re: It's all relative—I've only ever seen one other Sub in the wild, and believe me, I'm a watch noticer.
I think you need to get out more!
Picked up my 116613 LN this afternoon and I am delighted with it. First expensive watch I've ever owned, sorry to all the people who think it's just a plain watch and not very exciting, but I am really delighted with it. Wrist shot to follow even though "it's not necessary" thanks for all the guidance.
Congrats on the purchase! :-)
So for those (like me) that just cant keep up with all the Rolex code numbers, and have to google them, this is the one you ultimately went for?
Thought you had dismissed the TT's and were going for a plain old SS?
116610 LN ? Very sound buy :-)
Enjoy it with great satisfaction.

Congratulations! There is a reason why there are so many around, because it is beautiful!
Great choice OP and I hope you love it as much as I love my 114060.
Nice one and a bloody good way to break the duck as it were.
I'm probably a couple of years away from getting a Rolex but have had a few middle-ish priced watches that would be considered nothing of the sort by the good members on here. Nevertheless price as always is relative and i'll be pleased to see said watch, well done sir.
Whether they're ten a penny or not, a new owner should be happy and excited with their purchase otherwise part of the ownership experience is tainted.
I drove from Manchester to Scotland to pick up a 114060 this week. Was ecstatic when I picked it up even though I've had many Rolex before.
