[Incoming] My 2nd Rolex, first precious metal
So, DavidSW is awesome, just got my watch today, had to work fairly late so not much time to wear it.

But it has been unboxed and is waiting for the weekend!!!

Love the blue, gold is definitely heavier, now I have the best 2 Rolexes money can buy ... For now.

Btw, I know I need to remove the stickers and stuff, will do that soon, first I have to get over the nervousness if wearing it!!!

Current Grail obtained ... On to the next one :)

Amazing watch. If you don't mind me asking, how big is your wrist? Looks quite "snug" fitting.

X2 open the Glidelock a couple clicks! My hand is going tingly and turning blue just looking at that pic:)

Congratulations by the way!

Lol, yes it is set to the maximum closed setting, I do have big wrists, I just didn't fix the sizing for that picture.
