Incoming! OP39 114300

Well folks I did it, I just bought my first Rolex!

Thanks for all of your help these past couple of weeks helping me choose the right model to kick it off. I've been an Omega guy my whole "watch life" so this world is new and exciting.

Here's some photos!

It sure is. In some light the dial becomes silver. Very very nice.

I've been a 41-42mm guy forever, so I'm still getting used to 39mm.

How does it feel, compared to an Omega? Build quality wise.

Congratulations on your timepiece. 39mm is the perfect place to be imho. I think watches will be trending smaller (<40mm) over the next couple of years.
