Lost my virginity today...

Just left an AD with my 1st Rolex.

Can't stop looking at it :)

When I was there a lady who was picking up a refinished Rolex from the early 50's. It was her fathers that had passed away. She was giving it to her son for Xmas as he was extremely close to his grandfather.

Made me think about this possibly going to my son (currently 3 1/2) some day.

Hey welcome to TRF and congratulations on your loss.

There isn't a better first choice if you ask me, but don't ever flip it so you can pass it on down.

Very good looking Explorer, congratulations.
I am hoping to pass down my Air King, but I have no sons. I have a 7 year old daughter, so if she gives me a grandson, then its his. If not, well, I do not know.
Merry Christmas to you.
