Bought my 1st!

Hey guys,
I signed up on this forum roughly 2 months ago and have been pondering which watch to go for. I looked at Rolex, Omega, Tag, Ebel, etc. but today I realized that the only way for me to go was with a Rolex. I bought the SS Sub date and I already know I made the right decision. Just ended a relationship with my girlfriend yesterday so I figured I deserved a little treat. Although I haven't been contributing much, I've used this site for research and wanted to say thanks for all the great info and pictures. I know how big everyone is on pictures so after I get done admiring it, I'll make sure to post some up. Thanks again, you've all been a big help!

Mike

My kind of ROLEX MAN. Dump the chick before the holidays, saves on presents, and then buys himself a SS Sub with date. Just a little dry humour. The best purchase for a first Rolex.

Excellent choice for your first Rolex. Now, if you didn't dump your girlfriend, what would you have gone with?
