Purchased my first Rolex today

Went to a local shop and they had one of my personal favorites, GMT Master II Root Beer. I've been in love with watches for quite sometime now and I recently made a decent business sale so I figured it was time to treat myself. I felt absolutely crazy spending the money, but I don't regret it one bit. I was able to haggle the dealer down $400 to make up for Florida's sale tax. All in all very happy and figured what a better time to join the Rolex Forums.

Happy collecting!
