Incoming!! My first official post and my first Rolex

Hello everyone,

I freaking love this Forum! I have been wanting to purchase my first Rolex for quite some time now. After following everyone on their purchases and everyone's xxxx vs xxxx and countless hours spent on research and YouTube videos.....mostly from distracting "Top Blown MLB plays", I finally decided on THE ONE.

I went to my local AD and was told there was a wait-list but had a better chance of getting it sooner if I paid for it in full. Paid in full and received the call about 2 months later!!

This is my first official post on TRF and excited to introduce to everyone my new baby.....

Congrats to this fine watch! While I like playing with the bezel of the Sub, rotating the ceramic GMT II bezel is very satisfying getting that firm feedback whenever the bezel locks in place. Best high-end fidget spinner :D
