First Rolex Purchased Today

Finally took the dive and purchased my first rolex today, After alot of thought i decided i had to have this watch, and what a joy it is to wear, It definately looks alot better on my wrist than in the shop window. New ceramic sub ordered for august delivery but this is my favourite.

Woo hoo, two birds with one stone! :D

Congrats on the purchase... ya know you shouldn't have purchased a Rolex in the first place, I promise you won't stop... LOL

Anyhow, I really really liked the YM - my next target - perhaps next year or year-end. :D

Just like St. Pauli Girl beer ads that say, "You'll always remember your first girl" Enjoy. What a superb choice.
