8 more days till it's mine...

Ok, so as most of you know I've been "on the fence" about buying my first Rolex, not due to lack of funds or desire but just actually pulling the trigger!

Well I'm for sure going to get the Black Sub C 116610LN brand new from my local AD in town.

I got the call about my first lead and then THAT NIGHT got a call about another lead part playing opposite Andrew Dice Clay (Ohhhhhh...) in a new movie. I am beyond excited, it's still on hold and I have to wait 8 more days! That's a self imposed deadline, the day I graduate. I am so ready to get it!

Thanks for all your advice & encouragement. I'm looking froward to joining "the club"

~Justin

I WISH!!! No, it's for a film to be shot in Charleston SC, where he moves to a small town and...well...has trouble adjusting.

Congrats Justin! the 116610LN will be a great companion. I decided on the 116610LV since the LN is so common.

[QUOTE=Oyster Junkie;3245448]Congrats Justin! the 116610LN will be a great companion. I decided on the 116610LV since the LN is so common.

I LOVE the LV too, but right now I'll just get one and I feel I can wear the black more with more if you know what I mean. The LV is beautiful and it was tough choosing but I am gonna go with the LN


by the way...I can't wait 8 day's, I'm about to go get it now...

I totally understand your reasoning Justin. Either choice is good! The LV just "sang" to me more than the LN. Post pics when you get it!!!!!!!
