Well guys, today is a special day. 100 posts here on TRF and one month of time with my first ever rolex and my first luxury watch all together. So I felt the need to share this story with you all!

Before we begin I'd like to give a shoutout to my best friend Hans (997.2 here on TRF) for giving me the rolex bug, without him this would never have happened. And to OCROLEXGUY for the masterpiece subject of this thread. Now let's begin!

When I was little I knew the word "Rolex", but I never envisioned myself owning one. I'd never seen one in the wild until my friend purchased one a few months before me. Or if I did see one I didn't know it. But now that I'm 21 and still in college, I can't believe what I have on my wrist. I fall in love with it every day. This all began a few months ago when Hans caught the bug. Well he caught it a little over a year ago but didn't start sharing the brand with me until May of last year. But for me it's was all very fast, I joined TRF in December, then two weeks later, had a classic watch on my wrist.

Now it's time to share the story in pictures! Enjoy!

A little over a month ago, on Christmas Eve to be exact, I received this beauty as a Christmas present to myself. [

And this is the moment that changed it all.
After opening the package, this was the first time I wore my own

the blue lume was awe inspiring!

My friend Hans and I love to compare our Submariners! And we love to share a beer with them too!

I'll leave you all with some of my persona favorite pics! I look forward to many more TRF posts, SubC pics, and more rolex watches to come! Thank you all and enjoy!

And last but not least, GO VOLS!!!!!

Great story, we love dreams filfulled.

dsample1 · 28 January 2015, 07:12 AM

I'm really eyeing the daytona lately. I love my SubC and I don't ever plan to sell this watch, but in a few years when I'm ready to add to the collection I hope to reel in a daytona for sure!

21...still in college, with a new sub - M3 and Porsche?! How do these kids afford this stuff these days?

dsample1 · 28 January 2015, 07:48 AM

Well it's not an M3, it's a 135i with the M sport package. And all you have to do is save up for w few years. But the Porsche is my dads lol
