First Rolex 1 day before my 40th
Picked up my first ever Rolex last week, 1 day before my 40th. I hoped to get it on the day of my birth, but plans got in the way. Very happy as I've always wanted a Rolex but other things always took priority. Getting it meant reaching one of my goals...the SA also chucked in a few Birthday presents.
Rolex 126300 Datejust41 in blue direct from my local AD. Pictured here in the country of its birth in the beautiful Swiss Alps. |

Beautiful reference and lovely subburst dial which I believe is most desirable after decades of existence.
Congratulations and wear in good health. |

Beautiful! Happy Birthday OP! What a great way to celebrate your 40th. Very nice choice as you can never go wrong with that beautiful blue dial. Also really cool of your AD to throw in a couple of additional birthday gifts. That green service pouch will definitely come in handy! Congrats!

Well you certainly picked a nice one to have. It is personally my favorite reference. Blue with sticks and smooth bezel.
