Incoming... finally.
So after 4 years of med school, another 4 of residency, and a few years "working" I was finally in a position to get my first watch. Been lurking on these forums for many years. While there are a number of watches on my radar, there was never a question that the first would be a Submariner. I love the history of the watch, the versatility, and the look and feel. So on Friday I headed to a local AD and finally pulled the trigger. Wanted to have my name on the card for this first one.

You should have your name on your first rolex, at least when you bought it!

Congratulations
