Finally done it!
Finally done it! Finally picked up my first Rolex after about 2 years of saving and many years prior to that daydreaming!
Apologies for the crap quality pics, taken with an iPad. I've hugely enjoyed the 2 year hunt deciding which watch i would finally go for, but, as you can see, 8 went for the LV-C and absolutely love it! I've got the bug and am now thinking ahead to saving for the next one! |

Congrats! The first is always the hardest one to convince yourself to spend that much. Now you will gladly pay much more for a nice time piece. Enjoy.

Congrats, the fact that you had to wait 2 years, just makes it sweeter.

Thanks everyone! Didnt realise the pic was upside down until i posted - will post a couple of pics from the PC once i get home tomorrow!
Tried on some seriously beautiful pieces after picking up the LV - the absolute stand out was the platinum daytona! Its not just amazing to look at but, damn its heavy!! Given the £50000 price tag, think i'll have to be a little more realistic. Also tried on the white gold Sub - its a winner and worth saving for! |
