First Rolex!
Hey guys,
I've recently joined the watch hobby less than a year ago and I've been hooked ever since. I've always owned gshocks as a teenager but never considered luxury watches until recently. My first was a Sinn u1.b, then a SMP300, Moonwatch and now my first Rolex. I fell in love with the 16570 Polar as I'm a big fan of the GMT function, I found a great deal on one as a full set and when it arrived I checked the serial number and the watch is from '93, my birth year.. so this one I have zero intentions to sell! I work right next to the Rolex service center in Dallas so it felt right to take this picture on one of my walks. Lol |

I wish I was able to visit the inside, I've heard it is really nice but it is not closed to the public and you can only mail in watches for service.
