For you, I hope it is your last watch as well. Unfortunately if you hang around here, I doubt it will be your last.

Congratulations!

Congratulations, the feeling of getting your first one is simply fantastic.

Buying a Rolex is buying happiness.

Everyone should buy one.

True

It's all about health, happiness & family. The rest are just necessary inconveniences we have to deal with.

Buy the exact one you want, then forget the price and keep it forever.
I totally agree with this advice.

Congratulations!

When I purchased my first Rolex, an SD43, it was all a blur. The thought of spending so much money on a watch felt crazy and stressful at the toile. It reminded me of my wedding day as it came and went so fast and I don’t remember the details, but in the end, it was a memorable milestone in my life.

Fast forward and five Rolexes later, the first one still provides me with great pride and fond memories of the journey with that watch at my side and I will never let it go.

I hope you make many memories with your family with that Rolex on your wrist and don’t think about the money you spent as you earned it.

Cheers!

Congratulations and look forward to the pictures! I'm pretty sure you are not the only one here who has said that, though!
