My first Rolex, a white dial 116400!

[Kbrantle]

Hello all, I recently acquired my first Rolex, well, really my first watch period. My lovely wife gifted it to me for Christmas, and I have a few questions...Can I take it in to the shower with me? Can I sleep with it on my wrist or should it be kept somewhere safe for the night? Should the crown on the crown be perfectly straight when its screwed down, mine doesn't seem to line up quite right? It is a V serial, that means it was produced in 2008, did my wife get ripped off because its not a "new" watch? My watch gains about 4 secs a day, is that normal?





Those, and many others, may have been questions I had, had I not been perusing this forum for two months getting schooled by the knowledgeable folks here. Well, as they say, pics or it didn't happen...oh, and padi56, thanks for helping me name my amazing watch, "The Pretender."










Yes, the watch was on my right wrist when those pics were taken, however, it has since migrated over to the left. And sorry about all the smudge marks and fingerprints. Happy New Year!
