Icon20 I finally did it - My first Rolex!

After years and years admiring watches, I finally picked up the 1 that kept catching my eye, for 6+ years I wanted a ceramic sub and I could never find the right time to pick one up. Well I finally did it and glad I did, she's beautiful (even though I am terrible taking pictures lol).

Thanks to Karaswatches, it hasnt left my wrist the last 3 days
