My First Rolex - Go Big or Go Home!!

Hello all! Longtime lurker, first post..... After owning several different brands of watches, I finally got my first Rolex. And I went straight for the holy grail! Just wanted to share my joy and join the club :)



LOVE the lume



I am coming from a JLC Master Compressor Diving Chrono, an equally impressive marvel of watch engineering. I only want to keep one, I feel torn!





Feel free to comment on your thoughts! Thanks all!

I like the JLC. How much would you be looking to get for it if you sold it?
