My 1st Rolex Just Arrived

Hi everyone, great to be here.

After wanting a TT Sub for a very long time I finally picked up one from eBay; 2005 Submariner TT 18K, for $5300USD

I took it down to the AD and had the band adjusted, and walking around with it on has made me feel 7 feet tall. I wonder how long the feelings going to last ;)

Here are the photos after i unboxed, I was worried about it being a replica but the AD seems to think its the genuine article.. let me know if you guys can see anything wrong with it

Congratulations--I hope it continues to make you feel 7 feet tall for a long time. The only thing wrong which I can see is that this beauty is on your wrist rather than my own.

One of my all time favorites. #2 on my list to pick up in the future!

Congratulations!

I can attest that the 7 foot tall feeling lasts at least one month. That's where I am at now.
