First acquisition

Hello all, this is my first post. I've just recently purchased a gently used Z serial (2006?) SD 16600 from a reputable dealer in Toronto. I've had other watch brands like most of you, Breitling, Omega, Tag etc.... but this is my first Rolex, and Im pretty excited about it. The next day after purchase, about a week ago, I took it to RSC Toronto to have it fully verified and now that it has been they will be doing a service on it, its never had anything done. I dont have any photos yet but when it returns I will post a few.

Just excited to be on the forum.

Thanks, Martin

Superb choice Martin.
The SD 16600 was my start into the wonderful world of Rolex and ensuing addiction.....

Looking forward to the wrist shot, and a big congrats on the first of hopefully many Rolex to come!
Also, welcome to TRF, and enjoy!!
