First Rolex- what a revelation!
Hi folks at the Rolex forum,
I received an incredible surprise about a month ago when the company I work for gave me an anniversary gift- a Rolex watch. Nothing short of fascinating in history, the mechanics, and the sheer beauty of these little machines!

Welcome Tim. Great looking watch!!
I've had 25 anniversaries from my company and all I got was a radio for my desk.

Must be a very nice company, congrats! In my company I probably need to work at least 100 years to get a Rolex.

An excellent choice.
With the new (well newish) style bracelet expect the watch to be looking as good as the top picture in 30 years time.

Welcome to this forum, it's excellent.
Didn't wait for bonus, I quit company and started my own. Later rewarded myself with a GMT. The moral is: If you're good, Rolex is reserved for you either way. Thanks for sharing and enjoy that beauty!!
