noob Rolex owner - first post

Just bought my first Rolex, bought a DSSD and i'm madly in love with it. I bought it from Andy @old world jewelers and have to say from the moment I spoke with him he immediately inspired confidence in his business, super stand-up guy, great service, super helpful and would definitely buy from him again.

I love this watch, I've always eye'd Rolex's and its been on my bucket list for some time, I got the same feeling from putting on this watch for the first time as I did when I took my dream car for the first drive....

Life long fan.... :)

Your DSSD is history in the making. Love it's presence!

You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave! This may be the first but maybe not the only.
The watch you chose as your first Rolex represents the culmination of years of research, experience and technology. For many, this is the Grail.
Congrats on an excellent choice, and a heck of a watch!
