INCOMING-My First Rolex!!

Hi Guys

So happy to have picked up my very first Rolex. It was a day I thought that would never come.

Nothing beats the buzz of recognising the number when they call you.

I went with a DJ41 Oystersteel /White Gold Fluted bezel on the Oyster bracelet and black Dial.

Not anything too special compared to some other Rolexes, but we all start somewhere.

Feel free to ask any questions

Nice. I struggle to remember my first girlfriend. I remember the time and place I bought my first Rolex (at retail minus the 15% discount for buying a shop stock model)

My first (and only!) is a similar DJ II. Very versatile and I still love mine 8 years later. Congrats and enjoy.

An excellent choice for your first Rolex OP and welcome to the forum.

The DJ, especially with black or white dial provides just the right amount of sporty, casual and dress panache.
