2nd Rolex purchase
Hi everyone, I mostly lurk around trf but thought Id share my latest acquisition and my 2nd Rolex piece
 I always wanted a divers watch in the Rolex lineup, considered 14060, 16610, 5513 but ultimately came down to 16600. I was fortunate enough to source the watch within Canada in the serial I wanted and in mint condition and really good price to sweeten the deal  I specifically looked for unmolested lugs with beveled edge and defined crown on the clasp (you OCDers know exactly what I am talking about  ) The lug holes are cherry on top. The watch is quite meaningful along with my birth year watch 14270 as 2001 marks the year when our family immigrated to Canada -a new beginning if you will. It was last serviced in 08 so I will probably wait one more year before taking it in for a service.       Thanks for looking
