My First Rolex

Here is my first rolex. I chose an Air-King, and I really enjoy it. I have been considering an omega or rolex for a while now, and finally decided the everyday capability of the air king was preferable. Just joined the forum, and I am very proud to join the community. Any advice for a new Rolex owner is welcomed. Thanks guys

Welcome to TRF and congratulations on that beautiful piece.

Now let me give you a piece of advice from a new Rolex owner to another: enjoy the hell out of it!
