Just got my first Rolex today, it's something I've been wanting for a long time. I first fell in love with the Sub after my friend inherited one when we were about 13. I knew I had to have one but I didn't know what it was, and when I found out what it COST (in '93) I knew I'd have to wait.
I decided that my 30th was a good time/excuse to get one.
I had the money saved up and set aside for it but I'm not particularly wealthy and the cash looked good sitting in my bank account so I was a little shy about pulling the trigger on a watch after my b-day a few months back.
After a lot of looking and reading on the 'net I decided I wanted a Sea Dweller. I wanted a 2002 for personal reasons and because I wanted holes in the lugs.
It took me a while to find the right watch from the right person but I finally got it all sorted and now here I am on the forum telling you all since nobody I know is particularly fond of watches!
