Great choice

Yes after calling around for 2 weeks straight, I finally found an AD around here that was selling it for retail. My first rollie, I think it's great. Just a fantastic fit, great size, I was surprised how big the dial actually was. I love the magnified big date and how the seconds hand gets magnified when it passes through the Cyclops. How does this dial click work though? I don't want to break anything lol.

Congrats on the new Rollie! Its a beautiful piece...

The more I look at the Flying B however, I really feel that it might have to be my next piece, unless someone comes to me with a deal on something else.

When I was at the AD I saw the flying B in person finally, that thing is a beast. A different kind of beast from the SA. It's has the SA Characteristics, it has the size and thickness, unlike the Motors which has only the Size and not that much thickness. Yeah I wanted to buy a watch that I could keep for a longtime, but one that didn't look to gaudy like the SA or a Motors. I think I found my perfect match for this category.

Saltwater will not hurt a Rolex, especially the sub!!! Their particular stainless holds very well to corosion (903L I believe)

Nice Rollie. Who cares if you crossed over to the dark side. I love the look of that watch and the submariner (especially the anniversary editions w/ the green). I really want to make it my next watch by my wrists are too big and 40mm looks like a women's watch on my wrist.

I know the GMT-IIc is listed as 40mm, but in reality it actually wears bigger if you bring into account the huge lugs on the watch. I would say it seems like a 41-42 mm watch.

Yep!

I take mine into the drink quite often. This was taken at 70 ft.

I even feed the hungry with it on...

I absolutely love my Submariner. One of the most comfortable pieces to wear in my opinion. I think it looks bigger on the wrist than it's 40 mm size. I prefer to keep the bracelet polished up on it. It's almost as shiney as my Navi-World Bracelet.

Those underwater pics were just great!

Is that your hobby, or is it work? Of course you should use the watch as intended - if it is a marine watch, dive with it. 8)
