Beautiful watch! Congrats to you, and welcome to The Presidents club my friend.

There's nothing quite like having a solid gold watch on your wrist....very substantial. And it's a Rolex!

Wear it in the best of health!

A true work of art and all beautiful gold. Someday I will have a pure gold Sub or GMT. Maybe when I'm 80!

You will also have to brace the camera to prevent camera shake.

I'm no professional, but this should help a lot.
