Hello everyone,

This is it - I purchased last saturday my first Rolex, a mint january 2000 Rolex Air King, Oyster band with a black dial, 34mm, recently serviced.

I just can't take this stupid smile away from my face since then.

Congratulations David. Great looking watch. Wear it in good health!

ayres · 2 August 2010, 07:32 PM

don't worry about the stupid smile... rolex tends to bring that out in every owner!

that is an awesome watch, by the way.

nauticajoe · 2 August 2010, 08:20 PM

Welcome & congrats on owning a beauty!

DOUBLE 0 SE7EN · 2 August 2010, 08:27 PM

Congrats. A great beauty..Did you purchase it from "Sadan"?

Gerardus · 2 August 2010, 08:31 PM

Congratz!!!

SDDS · 2 August 2010, 08:46 PM

congratulations very nice

davidrault · 2 August 2010, 09:35 PM

007= No, I bought it at a jeweller last saturday but now I can't remember the name - not Sadan for sure though. I will check the certificate again... I brought it at Nisantasi's Rolex AD and they opened it up for me to check the inside + serial under the band, and also have a look at the joints and so on... this watch is wonderful.

thanks for your feedback everyone !

(but really i think i look really weird, looking at my wrist constantly... i guess it will fade away in time :-)
