Another My first thread.

After spending most of my collecting life with Omega, Breitling and various micro brands and affordables, I have finally purchased my first Rolex
I picked this up from a local jewelry shop (used) and I'm delighted.
It's an older version and I don't mind. I own an HVAC company and every watch I own gets worn in the harshest conditions. No safe queens here.
