Decision made!!

Some may remember I made a post looking for advice on my first Rolex. Well yesterday I went to a local AD just to try on different models. The ones that caught my interest there were the Sub c, DJII Fluted Blue, and the BLNR. So here is the one that "sang" to me the most. Wasn't really planning on walking out with one, but couldn't help myself. Proud new member of the BLNR club!!!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I really liked the PCLs, but already can see it is going to be a love hate relationship. So nervous for my first scratches. Should have told them to leave the stickers on. LOL

Congrats! You made the right choice. Scratches come and go, don't let it ruin your enjoyment of such a fine watch. After all a Rolex wears them best

Congrats! My first rolex was a DJII and the scratches on the PCL's did bother me as well. Not sure I could go back to a watch with them...enjoy yours!
