Icon10 First Rolex
Just thought I'd share a shot of my first Rolex that I got last week in Australia. Not sure if the picture is up to standard and I'm repping the wrong wrist. Can only improve from here

Love looking through the posts. Can finally join in!

Congrats! If you buy a Rolex from Down Under does it still wind in the same direction, .

Winding is the same... however, if I listen really carefully to my watch I hear it going toc..tick.. toc..tick... whereas in "your part of the world" I'm sure they go tic..tock...tic..tock...

Mine came with a kangaroo. All I had to do was put the watch in its pouch. It acts as a watch winder as it jumps around. Just need to be sure it doesn't escape from the back paddock
