1st Rolex, 1st post

Hey folks,

I've been lurking here for a while. Finally joined the club. For my 50th birthday, my wonderful wife had me pick up something special.

So here it is, courtesy of DavidSW (of course, the transaction was perfect). Brand new, with my name on the warranty card. It was not lost on me that the Daytona and I share a birth year! It's absolutely perfect and a great complement to my other pieces, Omega SMP Non-AC, JLC Hometime, Seiko Orange Monster. Now that I've had this for a week or so (and haven't been able to leave home without it on my wrist), I understand and appreciate the lure of the brand!

Thank you all for the great posts that helped me make the decision. I hope to contribute to the community going forward.

Best to you all!
