Incoming - my first Rolex

I want to thank Matt (mboverst) at dfw-watches for a terrific transaction. Great guy to deal with and I got a watch that I love. Matt will be my first place to check going farward when I need a watch.

This is my first Rolex and I took several months and many visits to try watches on to decide what I liked.

I settled on a Exp 1 114270 because I liked the 36mm size and no date.

Good choice!

Congratulations!

I've been wearing mine for the last few days, too.

It's really a comfortable watch, besides being so a beautiful piece of machinery.
