Got a gift for myself (116610LV)
Hi guys.
This one is a gift for myself. After getting a new job, which has been my dream, I bought this for myself in Edinburgh. I was in Glasgow for a job interview. Thanks to the Watches-of-Switzerland for their assistance. I’ve just got amazed with the watch. This is the first Rolex I’ve ever own. Probably I’ll keep it forever, because green shines so beautifully. For those wondering, before this watch, I owned a regular Seiko. There are 3 green subs for sale at ADs in Istanbul as well, but the price is about $2,500 higher than in the U.K. So, I chose to buy it from the U.K. I bought a Raymond Weil for my mom at the dealer as well. I don’t have so much knowledge on Raymond Weils, so I don’t know the model name. I just put a picture below. And excuse me that I am not so good at photographing, so try to enjoy the terrible photos...     And Raymond Weil for mom;

Nice watches,
I spend many school holidays in Edinburgh in the early 60's. I remember Arthurs Seat, the Scott Monument, Princess Street and walking through the flower gardens with my grandmother. I'm happy you enjoyed your visit to Scotland.

Congratulations!
I got my 14060m from the WoS on Princes St and found their service very good, especially David the manager. Did you have a look in Laings just round the corner and Hamilton & Inches on George St when you were there? I tend to drop into all of them whenever I'm in Edinburgh and have been really impressed with Laings lately. Nice to hear you liked Edinburgh. I was born and dragged up in that fair city but since I left at 18 I've been everywhere, man! I'm now back in scotland but it still feels like going home whenever I visit Edinburgh.

Thank you guys...
Grumpy Badger. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to look around in Edinburgh after getting my watch. I had to go to Glasgow quickly to catch a guy to buy a gaming steering wheel for my laptop. So, I hopped on the returning train real quick.

 the roadworks are Edinburghs new tram project and are the biggest White Elephant known to man! Glad you caught the train though.

Congrats on the sub. It is a great watch. I got one a few months back and haven't taken off yet. Every time I look at the watch the color looks different. It is like I am wearing a new watch every day

Thank you paultran, financeman, A.Sharp, BNALION...
Enjoy yours, paultran, financeman... Yes, it looks different under different lighting conditions. I love English green. I wish I could own an English green Range with tan interior in the future. They are lovely.Thanks A.Sharp. I am starting my new job to the end of the month. I am a little excited...
