New member lost rolex virginity ;) inc pics
Hi guys,
My name is Arjan and i'm a 22 year old business school student from the Netherlands. Just this week I bought my first rolex after owning an omega speedmaster for over a year now. Bought a pretty much unused submariner 4-line from 2009 -- V serial. VERY excited and happy with this watch, can see what all the fuss is about. Hope to learn more from the history and heritage surrounding this watch from the forum. For those of you thinking this watch was a gift or something, i have to disappoint. Saved up for a year while working on weekends/holidays before making the purchase ;) Enough words, Pictures! |

Welcome to the forum and congrats. Great choice. It is a great feeling knowing that you have worked hard for the watch you are wearing. I think it gives a great sense of achievement. Well done.

As requested, my speedmaster and as a bonus the Constellation of my GF, who beat me by a year when getting her first omega.. Just because she is one year younger then I am (she got it at 20)..

Waiting to get my Submariner 114060. How are you liking yours so far? I was looking at that one but wanted the ceramic bezel.

Loving the piece, my speedmaster hasn't had wristtime in days now haha
I was considering the ceramic but the deal on this one was way to good to pass on. The allround quality is amazing, post some pics of your sub 114060 ! |
