My first Rolex, perfect choice !!

After much debate I finally pulled the trigger on a 116000 Silver Arabic Dial. I was looking for a daily wear watch an decide to go with the elegant/classic No Date ! Looking foward to growing my collection now that "step 1" its out of the way !! Thnks

Nice! My first (and only) is the blue 116000. Next on the list is gmt or sub. I'm excited to have a growing collection too! Congrats on the watch!

We have similar tastes. I am planning to purchase the exact same watch for my first Rolex. I'm watching the For Sale forum regularly for one to pop up!
