WOOT! WOOT! WOOT! My 1st Rolex! WOOHOOOO!

To those of you that may have seen my last few threads over the last few weeks, you probably know a few things about me already, for example:

a) I'm a Rolex Noob
2) I was unsure what to get as my first Rolex
c. I decided on a sub, but then could not work out which one....

Well, those day are behind me!

I pressed the buton a few days ago, and today it was delivered.....

Firstly thanks to DavidSW from these very forums for providing stellar service and my 1st Rolex.

Secondly thanks to all on here for advice and for generally being good chaps!

So without further ado, let me inform you that the watch that sang to me the most was a 16610LV aka the Kermit!

Thanks all, I'm loving it!

ps: I'll edit this post with photos later tonight, just wanted to let you guys know that its' arrived ! WOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!
