The one i chose was......

So after careful consideration i ended up getting this as my first Rolex and am 120% sure that this is the watch i was supposed to have (i just didn't know it until yesterday). I am so glad i got this instead of the DJ that i initially ordered. Its a good thing my AD took so long on getting my DJ, otherwise i might have missed this.









Thanks for everyone's input on helping me make a decision!

Just kidding, Tony (and JJ). Excellent choice - beautiful watch and great pics (sincere kudos from a fellow Sub owner). Wear always in good health.

Hey JJ maybe they were split up at birth?

You know i wore this all day today and i felt like a million bucks! I now understand what you guys mean when it smiles at you.

P.S. They also threw in a Polo golf shirt with the Rolex insignia. Cool bonus!

Thanks, Tony...that polo looks pretty cool. Question is how safe would you "feel" wearing that in your part of the world?
