It's here! I finally own a Rolex!

Well, after a long time of saving and waiting I finally have my very first Rolex! Thanks to Oscar (bodybump) for being so patient and reliable.

So finally....here it is! My 36mm Datejust with mother of pearl diamond dial!

Congratulations! That watch looks perfect on your wrist! Great choice.

The MOP dial is such a good looking dial in the flesh. Pictures rarely do it justice.

Sensational congrats Shelley, you must be on cloud 9 right now.

That fluted bezel and the diamond dial really sparkle

Good on you Oscar, way to go dude

Hi, Shelley. I have the exact same watch, and I bought it at the Wynn store back in March, and the salesman Eric was there too, but he wasn't the one who helped me.

The watch looks stunning on your wrist! You definitely made the right choice. I'm sure you'll enjoy it for many years to come.

Here's mine. Looks better on your wrist though.

Very nice. I wish I could get my wife to wear 36mm.

Why does everyone do that first photo on their deck or over their granite counters?

Actually I think my Sea-Dweller will look good on my black granite. Photo Op!!

Ed, it must be because the lighting is best in those places. Well, at least in my house it is. :)
