Icon6 Rolex Distractions

I Just got my 16610LV this weekend, however I am still in college and this week is full of midterms, papers, and group projects. I have always been a procrastinator, but now that I have this beautiful watch to stare at its bringing me to a whole new level! I mean I'm even procrastinating by writing about it on this forum .

Oh well I guess I better get to studying/writing papers.. In the mean time this is what I have to deal with..

Well, there's no better distraction than that beauty.

By the way, I was going to start a war on procrastination, but..I kept putting it off.

if you are in college and can afford a Rolex, then what's the point of going to college

When I was in college, I could barely afford the magazine that had a photograph of the Rolex....wow, how times have changed.....

Thats why I had to wait 'till after Med School! for my 16610! (Had to Lay-away! at my AD for it) and felt GREAT when finally took it home...
