Just got a call from my AD...

It's nothing huge, but this is going to be my first Rolex watch. I visited my local AD a couple times over the past month to get to know them and the local market since I'm pretty new to watch collecting/wearing. I asked to be put on the list for a sub w/date 116610LN, and to my surprise I got the call today with less than a month of waiting

I'm picking it up tomorrow and I'll put some pictures up then, as well as first impressions from a guy with his first Rolex I've been lurking on this forum for a while so it's nice to participate.
