First post-First Rolex

I'm very glad I found you guys, lots of quality information.
My wife bought me this for my birthday and it will be worn daily. I only look at it 50 times a day now....down from 100 a week ago.

Brian.

Hey mate, you've got a beau there, but sad to say, once you lay hands on this forum, your 50 glances will shoot beyond your 100, 200 XX in no time. Enjoy your timepiece....

Welcome, and great submariner.
Because you're a newbie, please be informed that you can change the green bezel with the black one and back, when you want to change look at your Rolex!!

Thanks for all the welcomes.

I love the quote above because I took at least 30 pictures to get two I found acceptable enough to post. I knew it right then that I was hooked.
