Icon20 First Post, First Rolex. Huge thank you :-)

I've visited this forum as a guest many times over the past few months, reading, learning and growing increasingly tempted to take that plunge and buy a Rolex.

Got registered on the forum earlier this week.

And then yesterday, I finally did it. Got my first Rolex.

It arrived today.

It's a beautiful Datejust 41 2017 - Champagne dial, diamond markers, two tone yellow gold and stainless steel with the Oyster bracelet.

I'll post some photos as soon as I am allowed to!

I just wanted to let you guys know how instrumental and invaluable you all were in helping me with the decision. Thank you.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Took ages trying to figure out how to post them! Here it is
I took the photos late last night so the stickers are still on! Will have to get them all off once I get back from work today. Can't wait!
