Boom !!! Get the Party started !!!

Incoming and a getaway!

Hello gentlemen, I hope this post finds everyone well
and safe. Allow me to relish and linger in the moment a little.
Long time waiting and a dream finally coming true !
I have loved this watch for many years since my early 20’s
to be exact . After many many years of waiting the opportunity
had finally presented itself and I couldn’t wait any longer.
A local deal had presented itself from a reputable jeweler
and I took the plunge . The time had come, all the boxes
we’re finally checked .
I thought there’s nothing better
than to celebrate a lifetime incoming with a little getaway.
Fort Lauderdale intracoastal in the background,
a nicer scenery than the every day grind .
Took the misses with me to spoil her as well so she wouldn’t
feel left out, otherwise I wouldn’t be going anywhere ...

I believe this watch doesn’t need any introductions .
The long awaited and coveted Rolex 116613LB Blue Submariner !
Pictures do not do this watch justice , so beautiful in the flesh.
Oh and uh for those wondering, lots of two tones in the vicinity
Rolex and non . Young and old was seen adorning the lovely
two tone watches not all stainless steel hype .
I’m ecstatic to say the least , words can not describe the
feeling!

I saw this in the case today and it’s so pretty that even though I own one I was tempted to buy the one in the case. It’s that nice!
Congrats on an amazing watch!

Nice incoming, the Blue sunburst in combination with Gold on this watch is something else. I must have more than 20 Tommy Bahama shirts, wearing them immediately takes me back to the Caribbean/Florida/Keys!

You made the right choice.

This reference is one of the most absolute beautiful references available from Rolex. The blue and gold combo is mesmerising.

One of my very first Rolex that i NEVER intend to flip and I flip many of my watches. LOL - I will never let this one go.

Congrats looks great on you. As a former owner I can attest to its beauty and will be right at home on the Florida intercoastal waterways!
