First Rolex!

I've been wanting one for years. Had a close call at work about a year ago, and the Mrs told me life was too short. Said I deserved to get it.

Was introduced to Oscar (bodybump), and the rest is history.

I cannot explain the feeling I have looking at my wrist. You all know what I'm talking about. I've gone from supporting myself through high school, paying my own way through college, and a lot of hard work. Life IS too short not to enjoy it.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic. I will try and get a few decent pics when I get back into town!

Thanks for all the support!

Congrats!

I recently realized that too, that life is too short, and you should enjoy what makes you happy. You deserve this great reward!

Thanks everyone. First day and and all I can say is wow!

I stared at my watch all day long, but I'm not sure if I even noticed what time it was!
