New Rolex after 7 year dry spell........
...did i make the right choice?

Not been able to own a Rolex for over 7 years, finally got back in the right position, and I couldn't happier, this beauty wears so well, not owned a watch with Jubilee bracelet before, I can advise it is very comfortable, i have large wrists and was worried it would wear small,, but it looks in great proportion (IMHO) if you are waiting for one its worth he wait.

So the last Rolex you owned was a COMEX 116660? Didn’t know COMEX made a 116660? Congrats on the acquisition btw, looks damn good.
