First time Rolex Owner!

Hey all,

Just wanted to share my first Rolex with the forum. Been looking for a long time and finally got my hands on a Rolex 116000 (birthday gift from my wife) blue dial, Arabic numbers. I started my collection about 5 years ago, so this Rolex compliments my Panerai GMT, Omega Seamaster, Tag Forumla 1 and a vintage Tag dress watch.

I have already ordered two straps for the 116000 to swap out, which I love doing. Looks like I can’t share pictures till I have more posts, but I will once I can.

Thanks! I’ve found that multiple strap options give me good variety, which prevents me from wanting to buy more watches!

I just picked up that same model Rolex last week. My first Rolex!

Where did you purchase the blue rubber strap?

Fantastic choice. Got one recently also and it fits my 6.7 in wrist perfectly.
