First Rolex!

I bought my first Rolex today at the local AD. Thanks to all of the knowledge on this forum, I went in knowing a lot and bought what I wanted at an excellent price (lower than I saw in the Caribbean!).

Sorry for the iffy pic! I must have been too happy from the purchase to take a clear photo!

congrats! I bought my first from an AD too. Everyone should have the Rolex AD experience at least once. For number two, try one of the sellers on here to save some cash!
