Just got my first Rolex!

It took a while of trying to figure out which model would be the best for me and finally chose the black Explorer II.
I wear shorts to work and play a lot of sports so this watch will get heavy use.

I am in Las Vegas and wanted to buy my first Rolex from an AD.
Thanks to Jagervegas for steering me to Tbird Jewelers. The owner gave me great service and a deal I am very happy with. If you live in Las Vegas make sure to use them.

To save on tax I had them ship this back east where I will pick it up next week. Pictures will be up then!

Nothing like your first experience from an AD, glad it worked out. For your next one, check out the for sale forum here as well
