Learn the history of Rolex, and how the company works. You'll enjoy your watch even more!

Don't take any of the stickers off. And don't overwind the crown.
Joking! Enjoy and wear in good health!

Give it a gentle cleaning every week or so with warm water and soap. A soft brush toothbrush works well.

Congrats on your first Rolex! Can't wait to see pictures of it on your wrist. My advice would be to start making plans for Rolex #2. :)

Once its on your wrist ...you wont be able to take your eyes off it for te first few weeks...after that, look out for the sneaky glances of admiration from others.

Keep all of the packaging. Your first Rolex may not be your last. They sell much better if you have everything.
Enjoy. Joe |
