First Rolex

Well I posted a thread not too long ago about a first Rolex, but decided this one was the watch for me! I love it, perfect size and the dial is just so clean. I'm planning to add an Explorer I 39mm in the near future. My wife and I leave for New York for a few days and everyone told me to wait and buy one there, but I really wanted to purchase local so I have that relationship.

Sorry for the ramble, here's a wristshot:

First Rolex

Good choice for 1st and 2nd - they will be good duo for any situations from office duty to outdoor adventures...

Thanks everyone! It's going to make the trip just that much better! Of course now I can focus on the sights instead of the watch stores!

I think it's more dressy than it is anything else, which is what I needed. Currently I have an Omega Moonwatch 3750.50 and a Breitling Navitimer, so I think it fits in well. I will be looking to replace the Navitimer with an Explorer I, maybe at 39mm.

But until then, I have a feeling this will be glued to my wrist!
