Icon7 Thanks TRF... MY FIRST ROLEX after a year of lurking. [PIC HEAVY]

You guys are awesome. I am a 21 year old college student and today I got my DREAM Submariner after over a year of research and planning on this forum. My first post can be seen here over a year ago:

http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=325994

Since then I have done a TON of research on watches and owned some pretty cool ones over the last little bit:









+ Orient, Accutron, Casio...

Sold my two SMP's and added cash for a mint 14060M, leaving me with my white Aqua Terra and the Sub Through this forum I was able to get ALL the info I needed to prepare myself for buying a preowned sub and I enjoyed the journey.

I bought this sub from a man in California. I am located in Knoxville and drove 5 hours to Union City, TN to pick this watch up from the man's friend. Long story short, it was a big day, a memorable road trip and I ended up with an awesome watch. The bracelet needs a permanent link removed to fit my <6 inch wrist, so I will be hitting up my local AD tomorrow to fit the bracelet to my wrist. I had planned ahead and purchased some Nato straps for this occasion so I could actually wear it after I bought it, hence all the Nato pics.

Enjoy the pics, and thank you all for everything. I'm not the typical Rolex owner but that is the beautiful thing about these forums. I feel very welcome and lucky to now finally be a ROLEX OWNER!!!





















I still can't believe it is MINE.
