First Rolex Incoming!!
Hey every, as some of you know I have been in the market for a Rolex and was inbetween a Rhodium YM or SubC date. I went into my AD today as he had both in stock to try and figure out which one I was going to purchase (in the FUTURE).
Ultimately decided that the YM was a little too flashy and the Sub was just timeless, perfect, and everything I was looking for in my first Rolex (currently wear a Tag Formula Chrono). I tried to wheel a deal...and got the option to ship out of state withba small discount. I was really back and forth on whether or not I should pull the trigger (like my whole neck was red and my girlfriend was laughing because I was nervous/excited). Ultimately I decided to walk out because I really wanted to wait a little longer...... 30 minutes later I calle day AD and said screw it!!! Let’s put a bow on it! Bought my first Rolex 116610LN The WORSTE part is I don’t get to wear it till next weekend when I see my best friend out of state!!! P.S. how do I post picture from my iPhone? P.S.S. Big shout out to the forum for equipping me with more knowledge about rolexes and watches than I could have ever imagined in a matter of a month!!! |

It’s nice to want things. The wait will make it even sweeter when you finally put it on your wrist. Congrats!
