Great choice. I have the same and I love it. It was actually my first Rolex too. On the forum there are a lot of debates about which color looks best on the bezel Red & Black or Red & Blue. I love the red & blue. Enjoy you new watch

acce, that was my first real timepiece, the Tag Heuer ProDiver 1000M. I bought it new in 1998. I just had it refurbed with TH. I love it, but with this being my first day of wearing my rollie, times are a changing..... :-)
