New here and just got my first R

Hey everyone really informative site been cruising around doing some reading and figuring out exactly what I want.

After a really good business year I decided to get myself something nice and I have a soft spot for sports cars and watches, since my weekend car is already all modified that left me with the "watch". I had always wanted a Rolex but the price was just more than I could swallow. Found myself looking at some Breitling's and Panerai's but I kept finding myself back on Rolex and figured for a few thousand more I might as well just jump in and buy the Rolex. I have some entry level watches I enjoy such as a newer Oris Diver, Omega Sea Master quartz movement and a SevenFriday M series watch along with my daily beaters. I got approval from the significant other aka the wife and she knew unless I got a Rolex I would always question my purchase. So I have been cruising the internet for past month and finally pulled the trigger on the watch I really wanted

I just purchased and will have tomorrow a new BLRN once FedEx delivers it

I am excited to have this as my first Rolex and will post picture tomorrow

Justin
