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! 116613ln-2.jpg |

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 ;) |
