INCOMING!! Joining the Rolex Club with the D-Blue!
Posted already in WUS, but wasn't active much on TRF since I didn't have a Rolex until now...

I am looking forward to being part of the community!

The long story short, my AD had sold me several watches, and was unable to get me interested in Rolex at the time. But, the one that caught my eye as I did my research was the DSSD. Having previously not realizing SD4k was different... it didn't cross my mind previously. Silly and naive I was!

I then asked about the D-Blue, and they knew that if I were to get my first Rolex, this is it. They had to get one for me. The Rolex bug has bitten, and it bit hard.

Still watching it spin in my winder since I wanted to savor the moment of my latest acquisition, peeling off all the plastic, but didn't get the chance to size it last weekend... here are some pics! No wrist shots yet, but they will come!

Congrats. I kinda wish everyone wasn't getting one lately because it makes mine feel less special. But you will love this watch! Big congrats my friend.

Thanks! My AD said that their list got so long they aren't even taking names anymore at this point. It has only gotten marginally less special since it seems to be very difficult to get... at least as I've been led to believe!
