Icon10 Hi Folks Newbie on the forum

Hi guys
After reading your posts and advice for many months i thought ide better buy my self a watch and join the forum.
Thought ide go for the bling with a light sprinkling of light in the old sneakers hence the serti.

Bar a few light marks on the braclet ime quite pleased for a 2008 sub.
Opinions and advice greatly received

Icon9 Many Apologies

Sorry for any offence ,i was just making a joke after reading some of the references in other threads re witch type or rolex apeals to who and diamonds on a gents wrist watch.
Not off to a good start so once again so sorry.
Just a bit exited as its my 1st Rolex and was wondering as theirs a lot mentioned about pollishing etc and was wondering about AD polish or leave well alone.

Interesting choice and reference, any advice? Wear like you own it. The YG getting more interesting these days. congrats. Oh, on the more serious side, if the service history is unknown, I suggest a quick overhaul with live and seals, pressure tested and all...it's 9 years young...
