Hi from South Africa - SD43

Good morning ladies and gents

Been lurking on TRF while waiting for my first Rolex and was extremely excited when I received it a few months ago.

This is my first post, just to say hi.

Cheers
Johan

Welcome. We went on a cruise last year and our concierge was from South Africa. He was the coolest nicest guy ever. Made us want to visit South Africa someday. It looks like a great place

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!
I feel right at home.

I'll have to wait for my 10 post count, then I'll post a pic of the watch. What a journey it has been! Emotional up and downs, waiting to hear from AD's, thinking I'll never get the Rolex I want, refusing to settle for anything else, up to today wearing my dream watch bought at MSRP from an AD.
Met a lot of incredible people along the way.
