1908 - My first dress watch is a Rolex

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to share this with you and get some feedback how you think about the 1908.
I am usually a sports and divers watch guy and got this unexpected offer from my AD.
It was a surprise for the AD as well because they where told that each store will get only one 1908 and they already had one come in this January.
I like it a lot:)
What do you guys think?

Looks amazing, love the green on the back of the strap. The small details make a big difference with a subtle watch like this. Very cool, enjoy!

Nice shot! How is the legibility at certain angles and light? Always good?

Congratulations. Did it come with a booklet of any kind, mentioning the 1908 founding of Rolex, etc?

Answering the questions:
-great dial visibility at all angles
-no narrative included about Rolex history. Just a manual how to use
