A thread of firsts
First post on the forum
First Rolex
First wrist shot
First day at a new job

The watch was a college graduation gift from my Father.
I had the now famous decision of BLNR or SubC.

Sorry to post another BLNR picture, but I am a proud guy right now.

You really should right your Jeep however; they're not meant to rest on their sides. I also had a first today; first swim breaking three miles. Smashed the goal with 5850 yards. Congratulations on all your firsts.
