Icon10 Reveal: Graduation Gift- Vintage Rolex TT Datejust

Hello everyone. I am new to the forum after finding it in an online search for authentic pre-owned watches. I love this community and your Rolex collections. I just finished college in May and I'd already decided to buy a new Rolex as a gift to myself. However, after much consideration, I decided to take a vacation to Europe/Africa and get a pre-owned datejust instead of a new one so I could afford to do both things. I found one that I really like and it arrived a few weeks ago. Today is my birthday, so I wore it for the first time tonight!

I can't stop looking at it and now I want more. How do you all stop buying these captivating watches? Hey, I guess there could be worse habits.

Normally I'm not big on bling, but that looks great! The black dial makes for beautiful contrast. Wear it in good health, Mitchell!

Thanks guys. Guilty as charged- yeah, I have a *slight* bling attraction in an otherwise bland existence.

This is the Rolex I'm now saving for. Will get it after grad school.
