Icon10 First Rolex - 116613 LN Submariner

Just got my first Rolex a few days ago.
This picture was taken fresh out of the box before I managed to track down and peal off all the plastic!
Going to be taking some better photos of it in the near future before it becomes all scratches up!

Nothin' like putting on a Rolex fresh out of the box. Congratulations on a beauty!

I usually only like SS Subs but yours looks great.
I think I'm gonna take a real hard look at the TT next time at the AD.

thanks everyone!

i feel like a little kid cant stop starring at it.
i find myself doing extra arm movements to help the automatic winding!
lame i know!!
what can i say this is all new and exciting to me.

its incredible how many little plastic stickies there are on the watch, honestly about 20-30 and some are quite a bit more difficult to peal off than others...

at first i thought about keeping some of the plastic on and than i thought about people who keep the plastic covers on their couches

next watch will probably be an ss gmtiic ...only so many piggy banks i can break per year tho ;)
