Hello from Scotland

Hi

I love nice watches, and purchased first serious watch a ss/gold tag 2000 chrono about 17 years ago while on honeymoon.Loved this watch and wore it everyday for 12 years and then decided to go for an omega 2225.80 Seamaster bond chrono.Once again loved the watch but a couple of weeks ago in Jamaica on holiday was browsing in Swiss stores and fell in love with the SubC 116610LN.One inner voice was saying you cannot justify spending all that money on a watch, and another was saying hey we only live once go for it,you will regret it if you walk away, so here I am a new Rolex owner,Love It!.
