Incoming! (First Rolex)
I am very excited to announce that one of my local ADs was able to deliver on a 116518LN which I was able to pickup yesterday. This marks my first ever Rolex and will hopefully be the first of many. I had been looking online on the secondary market and just couldn’t justify paying import fees which is what stopped me from pulling the trigger on a few occasions.

I am very happy with how things turned out as the watch is stunning and the Oysterflex bracelet is actually quite comfortable.

Mandatory pictures can be found below:

Oh, you have long thumbs. Some short-thumbed pianists or other instrumentalists will envy you.

Beautiful watch! Congrats.
