My first Rolex
I have finally arrived at the point where I feel its time to create my first. After months of trying to decide which Rolex is right for me. I decided to go with the Submariner 114060. It was hard decision for me between that one and the new GMT Black/Blue. I decided to stick with the classic. Like I have read numerous times I have been bitten by the Rolex bug. So I went to the AD and just ordered the 116710BLNR and can't wait till it arrives.

Am I reading that you had first chosen the Sub, then went for the GMT BLNR? If so, fantastic choice; if not, still an excellent choice, but make room for another watch! Enjoy.

Number 3 is either a stainless daytona or a 2 toned sub c with blue dial
