Milguass, black. 33.
Thought I didn't like it, so flipped it. Then regretted it big time. Wish i could afford to buy another. You never truly know how much you love something when it's sitting on your wrist!

My first Rolex was 3 years old as I bought it in 2008 and it is a M that had been sold in 2005.

I bought my first Stainless Submariner in the mess hall of the submarine i was serving on the USS Tench SS417 in 1958, when I had just turned 18 yrs. old.
A Rolex factory repersentive came down to the boat and did a presentation. I paid somewhere under $500 back then, I think! I remember fiancing it through the Armed Forces European Network.
