My first Rolex to celebrate my first son

[carbon888]

Finally got my first Rolex to celebrate this milestone of having my first son + other things in my life! I plan to pass it to him eventually. Late post but I got it on Father's day a couple of weeks back and officially brought her out on July 1st (Canada Day). First Rollie, first son, first of the month!

This is going to be the one watch that I will wear daily so I did a lot of research and have been looking at it for probably 2-3 years now. I've also looked at the Batman, the Sub, Omega Speedy etc. Even though I own the watch now, it's still stunning whenever I come across a photo of it even though they all look the same! It never gets old. The design is flawless in every angle. The matte dial, red line, cyclops, HEV makes it very special.

I thought this thing was on battery, it runs so freaking long! I fully wind it on Mon, wore it on the same day and Thurs for a couple of hours and it is still running today (Sat)! This thing is gorgeous. Every night when I put my baby to bed, I would have the box opened beside me while I catch up on forums and just listen to the bezel. I got a 2x, 10x, 35x magnifier to check out all the details of this beauty!

Fun Facts: From 12-6 the hour marker will line up with the X, from 6-11 it will line up with the R perfectly in the middle. Rolex

I was hesitant to get it at first due to the size and weight but I know I won't be happy with any other watch. I pulled the trigger and in the end, it doesn't even feel as big and heavy as what many claim.

To all the smaller wrists out there, go for it. My wrist is 6.75", flat and it fits just right! I'm also a taller guy, medium built and on the mirror, it looks like a sub. With the slimmer lugs, it's not your typical 43mm. The dial is the same size as a sub, just the bezel is bigger. The internet can be confusing with so many opinions but you just got to trust your guts!

This watch brings me peace and calmness every time I put it on. Is that odd? Anyone else feels this?


Cheers guys

I wish I have a better camera
