New to the Forums, and to rolex
I just purchased my first rolex. Stainless Submariner. I am so excited. I have been a watch fan for a long time, but not up to the caliber of some of the finest (Patek, Rolex, Briet ect.) and now finally have my very own. I am a college student here in florida. Many of my peers think its a waste of money, but what they fail to understand is that it's an investment that I can play with!
Just thought I would drop in and say hello!! Phillip

Welcome to the forum, and enjoy the most iconic Rolex!
 Don't worry about your friends. Like our mod Daren says "you either get it, or you don't."

Welcome to TRF, Phillip. Don't let your friends mislead you. You've got the classic iconic Rolex. It will never go out of style and with a little care it will last you a lifetime and then some.
Stick around and join the fun here. I see you're in Boca. Are you at FAU?

Great watch Phillip, and welcome. The thing about saving for the Omega is that once you've been bitten by the Rolex bug it might not measure up. I got an Omgea after purchasing my first Rolex and ended up trading it up (with cash) for a Rolex, which will always hold it's value.

Rolex just seems to go that "Omega-Breitling" way (i.e. BLING-BLING!-way) recently.

Congrats on a true classic. But be warned. It can start an addiction that's hard to stop and very costly.

Welcome to the forum-you can learn a lot here. As many have already noted, the Submariner is a classic and is perhaps the most iconic dive watch of all time. Enjoy your new watch. If you decide to save to buy an Omega next, you will not only be in good company, but Omega also makes outstanding watches. Good luck.
