Incoming... Finally!
After two years of lurking, I promised myself I'd add to my watch collection and buy my first Rolex after I'd gone back to school at the age of 46 and finished my degree. Well that day is here and today I brought home a new addition to my family, but what is it?

Like that was very hard to guess.
As I have read as nauseam, this dial is almost impossible to capture in pictures. Even more beautiful than I remember now that it's on my wrist. I was worried about it being "too bright", but it's not! It's a perfect royal blue and then when the light hits it, BAM, it explodes with color. I know a blue Rolex is not for everyone, but for those that find the blue face as mesmerizing as I do, it doesn't get much better. Enjoy!

Welcome to the family!
I have a diverse collection, but I was missing a Sub... and no collection is right without one!

+1 to this. Looks like it's cutting off circulation.
