Busted...

After owning my 116000 for a week, I went to the Dr.'s on Tuesday for a blood letting and sick visit for a nasty cold I've had for a month. Twice within the time of a half hour I heard..."that's a nice watch." One time with "was that a Christmas present?" I'm not use to my watching being a celebrity. So much for flying below the radar.

Love that watch! Personal favorite of mine in the line up. The orange concentric dial really is eye-catching. A great piece. Feel better too.

I love that thing, it might just be my second Rolex... Seems like it would be a nice pair for my Sub.

The blood letting was in preparation for next week's visit; aka, labs.

Looks great.
I usually have the barber drain the blood - discount with a hair cut.

Given that I'm follically challenged I already get a good discount; any cheaper and my barber would be paying me to do the blood letting.

Great looking dial!

I'd tell you to feel better, but we all know it doesn't matter how you feel, it's how your Rolex looks, and you are doing just fine...

I must be going to the wrong doctor/barber/masseuse/therapist/beach/garage/accountant/big-box-outlet/dollar store.

I've never had one of these defining moments when somebody notices my watch and comments on it.

Hopefully the doc didn't charge you more after seeing your Rolex.
