New to forum and have the Rolex Bug

Hello. I am new to Rolex. Started last week with a submariner and already traded up to a new James Cameron Deep Dive. This watch will stay with me as an all a rounder. I wanted a larger watch to represent Rolex for me. I will wear this with jeans as well as a suit to work. Large watches are my thing. The technology behind this watch is what really impresses me. The attention to detail by Rolex has won me over.

Yeah. Congrats. Looks great. I picked up a new SS YMII yesterday. Wasn't even the plan, but once I tried it on, I couldn't take it off. Made everything else feel so small and insignificant.. I don't even have big wrists, but it feels and looks so right...

Can't go wrong with the DSSD if you want to make a statement.

I spent quite some time at the AD looking at the options. They did not pressure but insisted that these only come around about every month or so in inventory. I love the dial as well. The fact that I enjoy the watch and know that's value holds as soon as I walk out the door is also nice.

Just saw a black DSSD in the metal yesterday. An imposing and potent presence for sure. Congratulations on the Blue!

Great pick on your watch! I personally never wear anything over 36mm but I admire the many people who can pull off such a nice looking timepiece. It's a keeper!

On your second Rolex in only a week, this place is going to cost you a small fortune

Congrats
