Pulled the trigger

I'm usually a lurker here, but so excited I have to share. After several years of saving, studying, researching, trying on, and debating, I finally pulled the trigger on my first Rolex. And ended up with something completely different than I originally wanted (which was a 2-tone midsize Yachtmaster).

I just ordered from a local AD a 177200, mid-size Oyster Perpetual No-Date with domed bezel and white Roman dial

A simpler Rolex, but in the end, it's the one that suits me and my lifestyle best.

It's going to be a long 3 weeks waiting for it to arrive!
