Awesome - and yes, I know it's special and an absolutely fantastic feeling.
I loved reading your post. I have had mine a year, and it brings back that original 'heady' feeling of checking the time!!

Well, I've been looking for about a year for a Rolex with the perspective of acquiring one and it all came down to two timepieces.

I've been torn apart between the two colors this model offers.
Deep in my heart I felt, this is the perfect watch for me.

And from today on, I will be rolling with it ;-)

Thank you all for the input once again.
This forum helped me a lot.

See you around
No surprise you've changed your mind again from your last post in the other thread .... now flip it for the blue one!
Enjoy it and wear it in good health!

In this photo,If it wasn't for the gold crown and pcl, it could easily pass as the ss version.

I'm aware that it wasn't a existential problem at all but it needed a serious introspection. I'll go in an himalyan temple to meditate with the monks next time
