newbie's 1st Rolex!!!
More than 20 years ago when I was a young kid I had an uncle who worked as a jeweler. I remember how happy he was when he finally got his 1st Rolex. It was a two tone with blueface Submariner. The idea of a Submariner as a mark of success always stuck in my head. I knew that one day I would get one. 25 years later I finally did the deed. I just got my 1st Rolex Submariner. It's a 114060. I couldn't be happier with it. I am unbelievably impressed with the quality of this watch. I was worried that it would look overly massive on my 6.6 inch wrist. I was pleasantly suprised to find that it was a perfect fit.

Congratulations, my Sub says hello! Like you I waited decades until I bought my Sub. I always wanted a Rolex ever since reading National Geographic magazines and poring over the Rolex ads when I was a kid in the 60's! A true mark of accomplishment, enjoy it and wear it in good health!
Oh, almost forgot, welcome to TRF, great bunch here.
