My First Incoming!!

Folks,

Just want to give a huge shout out to this entire forum for the copious amounts of advice, and enabling that has gone on in here over the past year or two. Stopped by my AD today, with the wife in tow, getting an idea of what she wanted for our anniversary.

When I stopped by the Rolex section, I tried this one on - and she loved it, and she said to me "If you buy it, will you stop looking at watches all night now?". Sadly, no, no I won't - but I'm happy to say I've picked up my first Rolex and the itch is gone for now!

Thanks for all of the information and push that was needed to finally pull the trigger!

Hope you enjoy the pics!

They also threw in a cloth as well, which I thought was nice of them - cheers everyone!

Set it to +4 hours for London, as I do a fair bit of work over there.
