Turning 40 on Saturday, 1st Rolex incoming!

I've been lurking around around a bit, which just a few posts. Finally pulled the trigger and drained the treasury. Thanks David SW. Probably not the usual first Rolex, but I've tried it on a few times and it sings to me and is within the budget(sorry solid gold submariner).

First off, congrats turning 40.

Secondly, are sure you want in? Once you go down the Rolex Rabbit Hole, there's no turning back! LOL!!!

Closer to the truth than we all chose to admit....

Congrats on the big 4.0. bro!.... I'm 41 next week and feeling much older than I did at 30! Also, congrats on the big Rolie! Wear it in good health and great pride, man!
