A dream became reality (1st Rolex in:)

Hi fellow TRF members

It's still hard for me to belief that, from now on, a Rolex will be wrapped around my wrist. I know, for some of you, this might not be special, but after all the way I went, it's amazing to me. A milestone for sure.

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

Very nice! Just got an 116613LN myself! Always interesting to see differences throughout the years on the same model, like how the 'm' in 300 m is further away on mine, and how the date is much bolder.
