First Rolex!

Hey guys new member here and I wanted to share my first Rolex with you all! I was checking out a jeweler in downtown Columbus last week and saw they had a 16610 and I tried it on for fun. I had tried on some of the 6 digit refs before but they were all too big for my wrist so I was skeptical. This guy fit perfectly though and I'd been eyeing getting a Rolex sports model as my first luxury watch for almost a year now so I had to pull the trigger! Absolutely in love with it. I'm a hardcore desk diver but I find the bezel super useful for cooking as a timer haha!
