Bought my 1st Rolex today

I have just bought my 1st Rolex a GMT-Master IIc TT M series, I looked at the watch in the AD a couple of weeks ago but kept putting it off so today I decided to go for it because I just heard yesterday of the price increase which is due on all new models. The girl in the AD was very heplful and they took a link out of it and it fits lovely. I wore the watch all the way home and I felt great wearing my 1st Rolex and it looks stunning and I am now looking forward to wearing the watch all the time .
The AD sold it to me at the old price of £5310.00 and she also give me a discount on it when I asked her, I got it for £5000.00, she also said that the watch will be increasing to £5970.00 after the price hike, so I think I got a good deal on it. Name:  new rolex 003.jpg

Congrats. Deal was OK. Cheaper in the US AFAIK. It's not important unless you're planning to sell it! So enjoy it in good health.
