Icon17 My first Rolex..thanks to all of you on TRF

Well it's finally happened...I can honestly say that I have wanted a Rolex for as long as I can remember. After turning forty in September I was on a mission to make this happen...all of you here on TRF have been so amazing...what a great community....a forum member sent me to his AD who made the experience of buying this watch incredibly memorable...I just can't thank all of you enough for your support and responses to questions I have no doubt you have answered a million times before....I plan to be part of this community for as long as my fingers will type...I wish all of you the very best in everything you do...
Cheers

Beautiful! Love the Sub-C. It also fits your wrist perfectly. I think the 40mm is the perfect size.

Congratulations!

Cheers,
Carl
