First Rolex, new to forum
Pepsi on Jubilee. Obtained via AD. Im over the moon with it. I've barely taken it off. I got this watch for my 40th birthday. I got it to daily wear/enjoy, not to baby by never wearing it. I swim about 6000m a week and wear it for that as well. Its basically becoming a part of my arm...

Congratulations! I used to swim a mile per day 5 to 7 days a week. With the pandemic I've started running as well. I used mine to track laps by rotating the bezel with each pair of laps.

Fantastic , big congratulations and great to hear you bought to actually wear ! So many watches bought these days , only to be placed in a vault , very sad and occasionally admired . Your attitude is what buying a Rolex ought to be all about .
