Icon7 Hello from Vancouver, Canada

Pulled the trigger on my first Rolex today 116731 LN bought from the AD. I know TT is not as popular, but I’m an 80’s kid, and I love the nostalgic look that is uniquely Rolex. And to be honest, if there was no price difference (ie if $ were not an issue), would not more people choose PM versions for a “luxury” watch?
