This day, two years ago...(with Photos!)
I bought my very first Rolex. I have come a long way since I first closed that clasp, and I am happy to be a part of such a wonderful collection of informed enthusiasts that can equally geek out with me about our favorite timekeepers. I am still a one-watch man until the time is right for me; but I have no complaints... My 116520 has been through thick and thin, and has the battle scars to prove it!
I want to say thank you for easing my nerves when I was a twitchy, nervous new Rolex owner, scratching my OCD with your impeccable photos, and showing me day after day how AMAZING these things are. I continually  over your fantastic references and find new reasons to come back on here multiple times per day. Obsessed? Of course! Thankful? Of course :)Have a great Friday everyone, keep it ticking!! Now enjoy Daytona photos from Day One and today!       And finally today's WRUW post:  And, of course... BATTLE SCARS!!

Sometimes I miss how insanely shiny it used to be... But then I remember what made it look the way it does today, and how much life I had to live to get it that way. Chalk one up for the Never Polish category!
