First Rolex - Datejust 116234
Hi Guys,

Got this bad boy just yesterday. Went with the 36mm, fluted on jubilee with black dial.

The size is perfect. My previous watch was a Speedmaster reduced which while i loved due to its smaller size (i have a small wrist, aprox 6.25inch) it was losing aprox 25s per day. I went to get a quote for servicing which ended up being around 30% of what i paid for it.

So i decided to let it go and go for my dream watch.

Great choice! I have the same one with blue dial and currently oyster, but thinking about switching to jubilee. I also have the Speedy Reduced, but planning to sell it, due to lack of wrist time.

Congratulations on your first Rolex. The 36 mm is classic, and that black dial on the steel and white gold is a perfect contrast. Enjoy it in great health!!
