My first Rolex

Very happy to announce the arrival of my first Rolex.

Thanks to all the great information on this forum that has helped me get to this point!

Fairly early on I knew I was keen on a GMT Pepsi but it has been a long journey deciding on the correct reference for me.

I eventually decided on the 16700 and thanks to Jacek and the team at HQ Milton I found one that I think is great and love even more in the metal than I expected.

Cheers!

Now on to finding the next one!!!
