I just got my first Rolex

Since this is my first ever post and thread. I would like to introduce myself to the rolexforums.com family. My name is Ryan, living in Toronto.

Here's my story on how i got my first Rolex. It was in 2003 when i finished college for automotive studies. i was only 19 at the time. my mom and dad said "once you get your automotive service technician license, we'll buy you a Rolex" they both have one aswell. my dad has a ss DJ which he got in 1982 in Saudi Arabia and my mom has a ss ladies DJ. were not a wealthy family, but strive for the best.

Now its 2007. i passed the test for my automotive license. and its time for the Rolex my parents promised me. i was stuck in between the Explorer II and the GMT. after doing my research on which Rolex to get. i choose the new ss GMT 116710. after reading rolexforums.com. i realised that this watch was hard to get. so i called the 3 local AD in Toronto. with a call to one of AD. they told me they were expecting one in the following days. i was very surprised it was on its way. i called my parents from work and told them they were getting one. 3 days later i have a call from my AD he said " your watch will be here in 30 minutes". so i called my parents from work. and said the watch is on its way. my whole family went except me. after a week of torture of not getting it yet. they finally present the watch to me on my party for recieving my automotive license.

Now only 23 years old with a beautiful timepiece. all my family and friends are awe struck of the beauty, elegence and the price of the watch. they all ask me "is it real?" i always respond back with this answer "just look at my face and you'll know if its real or fake" pics will be up soon. and thanks for this forum. for educating me on Rolex's.
