First Time Rolex Owner - Incoming!
I am relatively new to the forum and have thought about getting a Rolex for a few years. All of the great posted Rolex watch pictures pushed me into taking the plunge.

I never dreamed that picking out a Rolex would be a difficult task. I waffled back and forth amongst different watches, (i.e. Daytona C with white face, YG Bluesy Submariner, Yachtmaster 40 RG w/Oysterflex, Deepsea Seadweller Deep Blue). Being that I am an avid fisherman....I decided on the Deep Blue Seadweller! It should arrive tomorrow....can't wait!!!

Thanks guys! I was wondering if I will need to add a link to the bracelet. I measured my wrist and it is right at 8 inches. Any comments?

Fantastic watch! Even better in person!
As far as links, you should be fine with an 8" wrist.
You may want the diver's extension link taken out depending on the fit. Most prefer it out.
