The day has finally arrived!
Well it was actually yesterday, but I've only just had chance to get a moment spare to post!
I have been browsing this forum for the last 6-8 months daily and pretty much obsessively trying to soak up as much info as I can on the brand and the models and the general Rolex community. Well I am now feel as if its time for me to post as I am now the owner of my first Rolex which is a brand new 214270 Exp 39mm bought from a local A.D and it feels incredible. I've been deciding between Sub C's GmtiiC's and the usual suspects for quite a while and ending up narrowing it down to a Milgauss.... To cut a long story short I have tried on every single ss sport/dress rolex multiple times in the current range while on my journey to find the right one, there was only one left to try... the 214270 and within approximately 30 seconds of putting it on my wrist the words of the nice lady in the A.D turned into a garbling bunch of gibberish as the symbiosis of this watch and myself began. Needless to say I was out of the door within 25 mins with my beloved and my long tiresome journey had been completed in an instant. I hope to become an active poster on here and part of this really cool online community. P.S Jocke I think you are a living legend and one day if I'm financially permitted I will try to follow in your collecting shoes  Thanks Ryan |

It is always cool to hear stories about people searching through model after model only to be united with the exact correct model once it goes on the wrist.
Congrats! |
