First Rolex purchase

After many months of browsing at the local AD, I finally made the plunge and purchased my first Rolex, a 116300. It truly is a gorgeous watch. It joins my JLC Grande Reverso, Bell and Ross Heritage 123 and Tag Aquaracer.

good one!
did you get a good deal since this watch was just discontinued?

i ask because i was looking pre-basel but knew it was being shelved.
i'd buy it now but for a heck of a deal aka - 6k BNIB i'm on it.
i can't seem to see under 7k bnib lol.

Fantastic!
I have seen those in the 'wild' and pictures really don't do them justice.
I know you will enjoy that watch. Congrats!
