want some eggplant?

Hello Rolex lovers!

My first message here although I've been inscribed on this forum for a little while now! So why introduce myself now? I guess because I just bought my first Rolex watch and I wanted to share it with you!

My name is Chris, I'm 40 and I live in Brussels/Belgium. I bought this submariner 16613 two tones at an auction a few days ago. It's a 1997 model. The dial is serti but its colour evolved into a very nice eggplant (aubergine) brown.

I own other nice watches too (a Cartier Roadster and a Breitling TT chrono) but it's my first Rolex and I'm very happy!!!

Cheers!
