Trigger pulled for the first time ever (Incoming)
Well boys, after countless hours of research (mostly on this forum) I finally pulled the trigger! My first lifetime Rolex. I was really torn between getting a blue Yachtmaster (116622), a SubMariner Hulk (116610LV), and the new DateJust 41 with the blue dial (126300). At the end of the day I decided it had to be the DateJust 41, but then I had a heck of a time deciding on which band and bezel combination. I surprised myself by going Jubilee/Smooth. All of my selections were in part based on the wealth of knowledge here and I appreciate all that have put up with me and my rookie questions.
And a special thanks to addy616 who made my first purchase painless. I was originally planning to buy on eBay, but thankfully I found this forum first. (the lighting/glare in the photo kind of throw it off a bit) |

The new DJ41's are really appealing to me now. That jubilee though
 Congrats and welcome aboard! Glad we could be of assistance! MORE PICS
