Buying First Rolex

Hi,

I am new to this forum, I just found it last week and think it is great. Since browsing around and finding information I am buying my first Rolex. A Submariner TT with blue face, I will post pics when I get it later this week.

A TT w Blue is a well received example to many on this board.
Congrats and welcome to Sheep Centrale.

Starting out with that one (which is my favorite) you won't likely have the itch to upgrade anytime soon. You'll really enjoy it.

the TT Sub was my first rolex as well, and my only one for almost 15 years.
it looks great with just about everything, both casual and dressy.

a GREAT choice!!

Welcome to the forums! Glad to have you aboard.

Can't wait to see the pictures of your new TT Blue Sub. A forum member by the name JJ Irani referred to that watch as "Bluesy" so now everyone on this forum knows the watch by that nickname.

The watch arrived at my office today. I am very pleased, I was a little concerned because the paper work said it was a TT with a black dial, contacted the company I bought it from and they said the original owner switched it to the blue dial. I immediately took it to a jeweler (that my friend who owns several Rolexs uses) and he confirmed all was ok. He took the band and case back off and examined the watch. Confirmed authenticity of both the watch itself and the face and bezel insert.

I am now the proud new owner of a F series TT Submariner with a blue face.

My camera must be at home, since I can't seem to locate it at the office, so I will post pics when I find it.
