Elated New Owner | Oyster Perpetual 39

I've been reading up on Rolex and their manufacturing process... wow... it's clear that this is not just any watch. I can truly appreciate, value and enjoy what this timepiece really is. Some may think I'm crazy to spend so much money on a watch, but they don't see it the way we do!

I recently purchased a pre owned Oyster Perpetual 39, dark rhodium dial, reference 114300. It came as a full kit, purchased less than one year ago from an AD.

I haven't taken it off much since!

Nice! Love the OP and the 39mm is a great size and the Rhodium dial is my favorite of those! Such a clean and classic model Rolex but with just a bit of fun with those blue markers. Congrats!

Beautiful! I love how this piece is Rolex's "entry level" without feeling entry level, it lacks nothing. It's like if bmw only made the 5 series and up, and even then, only the M cars! Well done sir!
