Icon14 An introduction & a thank you




I've recently purchased my first Rolex. Initially I had my heart set on a DateJust, but in the end it was the black Milgauss that won me over.

I just wanted to say thanks for all the info posted on the forum. I spent weeks reading all I could about these watches before I set foot in my AD for the first time. I have learnt so much from you guys in a short time.

Sorry for the poor quality pic. I've never tried to take a photo of a watch before :) Hopefully I'll get better with practice.

The Milgauss is an Incredible watch. Congrats on your purchase. If you have any buyers remorse for not buying the initial watch you had your heart set on dont worry its normal. It can be solved buy purchasing it too. Eventually you will either run out of Rolex's to buy or Money. Either way keep them long enough and there all good as gold. Welcome to TRF.
