Today's purchase...my very first!
Hello
I only joined these forums yesterday but I am loving every bit already! Today I made my first Rolex purchase. I own 3 other swiss watches, but I decided now was the time to take the leap into the Rolex world. I'm sure you know that feeling of your first Rolex...love it!  So tell me what you think, good choice?           Cheers Dom

I ended up going to The Hour Glass on Collins Street, I purchased my Breitling from there. I got to know the manager too this time, so it will be my main place of watch purchases from now on I think. They have all the brands I like, which makes it more convenient :)
