Incoming!!!

Hello friends,

So I finally pulled the trigger. I can't tell you how excited I am.

Purchased BNIB from DavidSW over the weekend. Should be here tomorrow.

Some of you may remember this poll I sent out last month, inquiring with the hopes of finding support on what my first Rolex would be.

https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=319849

After almost of month of agonizing from everything from old-school to new-school, and what my first Rolex means to me, the decision was finally made.

So before my beautiful Rolex comes in, what do you guys think I picked?

The watch has arrived!

Will be doing the unboxing ritual tonight when I get home. My four-year-old Son always joins in on the fun. Believe it or not considering his age, he loves watches. Future WIS?

Stay tuned for the big reveal.

PS - There is a hidden "clue" within the tread that reveals what I ended up picking.
