Got my first Rolex
Just got my first rolex half an hour ago. A 07 submariner 16613. The blue face looks great. I was very, very surprised that I got everything I paid for. Original tags, box, warranty card, etc. I actually found a reputable professional seller.
I'm enjoying this watch here, but it's a little tight. Looks like I may have to go have a link added.  Being my first roles, I was expecting the name to be a little bigger on the face. Ah, great to be on this forum and finally get a grown up's watch. Not that I deserve it. |

Good for you..
There is a bit of adjustment, but perhaps somebody has already taken out a link.... Or, if you just have big wrists the oyster TT link is easy to come-by.... It's just expensive..

Where in Illinois are you at, I may be able to give some advice on a dealer.

Congrats, you got a beauty.
 As stated maybe you can adjust the bracelet, letting it out on the clasp to give you a bit more length.

Thanks guys. The only AD near me would be Grunos. I may head by there today. A ballpark of what I should expect to pay for a tt link for this from an AD?
