Pulled the trigger on a sub date!

So last weekend I finally pulled the trigger on a 16610

When we got to the AD, it was already closed but they gladly let us in "the back door" as my buddy is a valued customer (previously bought 4 within a few months). Generous AD discount as well.

A wrist shot and some family shots

Great looking sub. Stupid question, but what brand of watch is positioned second from the left?

Congratulations. That was my first Rolex as well.
