Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to view my post. Besides sharing this with my wife, I knew a lot of you would understand the feeling of obtaining it so that’s why I shared it. Happy holidays everyone, lots to be thankful for.

Good choice!
I Bought the same, two years ago, and during that time I've been through 5 different Rolexes.
The 116710LN is the only Rolex which I haven't flipped...and that includes a SubC.
Definitely my favourite and a keeper!
