That's awesome! You stumbled into one of the best possible Rolex models, and one that's not easy to find yet. Well done!

My learnings (as a first time buyer)
1. Don't exclude any brands
2. Know your pre-requisites, being open to be slightly changed
3. Have luck with an experienced Salesman
4. Have luck on the timing when you are buying
5. Have your girlfriend/wife with you
6. ....

My learnings
- buy at the right time
- buy with the right experienced salesman
- don't exclude brands
- try many watches also if they are not fitting your pre-requisites in the first sight
- know your prerequisites
- enjoy the watch
