My first Rolex

It's been 45 years in the making but finally I took the plunge. Had been eying up a breitling galactic as I prefer simple and clean faces rather than chronos and whilst in the shop was shown a gmt. Had never considered a Rolex but fell in love with the gmt. Feels so natural on my wrist and the get function will be well used as I travel intercontinental every other week.
So happy to finally be in the club!!! 😁

Excellent, wear it in good health. Love the understated and timeless black bezel and dial. It's never too late for a new Rolex. =)
