First Rolex
Relatively new to the forum, haven't posted before but have found the information here extremely valuable as my journey began a few months ago. Today I received a call from a local AD (zero purchase history of any kind) with the news they had a 116710LN waiting for me.....so I jumped on it and left with my first Rolex and couldn't be happier!

Great piece for your first one (especially without a relationship with an AD). Enjoy! :)
