My first rolex :)

Hi guys! representing Sydney Australia here, been up since 6am this morning around 10am Fed Ex arrived with my first rolex, very happy indeed. And props to DavidSW

Weeks earlier I had a tough time deciding between Subc and GMTIIc, after sleepless nights of reading TRF and research. I decided to go ahead with the GMTIIc, just because of the usefulness of the GMT function, but however part of my heart still belongs to the iconic Subc. Though, as most of you have said whatever decisions made whether if it's a Subc or GMTIIc it will still be a good one :) Just cannot stop admiring the beauty of this time piece Being a young guy I know that it will not stop here, Subc will definitely be my next rolex. Some pics attached :)

James
