New to forum, First Rolex!
After wanting one for 25 years, I finally broke down and bought my first ever Rolex. We do just live once, right? It's an Oyster Perpetual with a black dial and orange letters in a circle. I'm not even sure what to officially call it... Help? What is this model officially called? I thought I wanted an Air King, but this one caught my eye, and made my heart beat faster when I put it on my wrist, so I got it. Purchased from an authorized dealer in Austin, TX this weekend. So, hello, and help on what to officially call this watch would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all.

Isn't it Orange numbers, not letters?!
