First Rolex Incoming

Happy to share my experience here with my AD.

Just got a call an hour ago to pick up the SD43. My first Rolex purchase ever.

Back in late aug, i went in to purchase the BB58 and got the watch on 14th Oct. Which was awesome. This was meant as a gift to my Brother in law who has been eying it..

In btw this period I got a Tudor Royal for my staff and a 1928 for my dad.

Am gonna pick up the SD43 in a short while. Shall try to post some shots. Hee.

My wife was not with me when i am collecting my sd43.

But i am trying to convince her to get this dj28 with grey and diamond dial. Looks amazing.

Nice - congratulations! I reckon a Submariner would look even better on you.

Spot on. The sub wears best.

Working on it next year. Lol. Would love the kermit but i know this gotta wait longer. I would not mind the 2t bluesy actually. Hehe.

Next up. The air king. Best suited fot daily wear. I doubt i can wear the sd43 daily. Its really heavy but its just so special.

I have my wife's dj28 and my dad's explorer 2t to settle as well.

So lets manage expectations first. Hehe. And lets hope i get a next watch posting soon

Congratulations!! It’s a great looking watch.

There’s also a 31mm version of that other watch as well. I’m not sure how the lug to lug changes, but I’d try on both before purchasing (or at least a 31mm and a 28mm in general to see which fits better).
