My first Rolex

I was in Bahrain last weekend for the Formula 1 and popped in the AD at the mall. Their prices were cheapest I've seen and just had to go back the next day and get myself this beauty before catching my flight back home.

Nice! Apologies for being vulgar, but can I ask what you paid for it?
