FINALLY....my first Rolex !
I've been a member since 2014, never really contributed to the forum, mostly a lurker some would say, and I never really felt part of TRF...until today.
As suggested from many members, wanted to go try out a Hulk, but being in Canada, it's quite hard find one, I only have 3 AD's and none of them had it in stock. I tried the 116610LN, and tried to imagine how the Hulk would look. I have tiny wrists, 6 and 1/4", so for some reason, the ceramic models were too bulky in my point of view. I figured I would probably need to try on a 5 digit model and compare, but again, it was hard to find. But then I found this on sale...  Big shoutout to Sohais, who helped me out through the process and took his time to answer all my (annoying) questions, sent me wrist pictures, and even sized the watch for me. Couldn't have asked for a better transaction, everything went flawless. So far, love the fit, love the look, love everything about it. I finally feel like I'm part of the forum now. |

One doesn't need to own a Rolex to part of this community. Just a passion/interest in watches in general is more than enough!!
Congrats on your first non the less..

Congrats! The Kermit is one of my all-time favorites. Classic with just a little flash, IMO.

You can't ever go wrong with a sub! I have the same size wrist as you and you will find all of the sports models except maybe the Deep Sea will be comfortable. Welcome!

Awesome choice. In my opinion, that was the best decade for Rolex watches.....particularly the last of the 5-digit SS sports models.
