My time has come - "INCOMING" !!!!!!!!
After two full years of vetting many different Rolex models, I have finally chosen my first.

Presenting my G serial 116710LN. I'm really loving everything about this watch.

I would like to thank everyone on TRF for sharing their knowledge, photos, wisdom, and helping me through this process.

On to the main attraction:









and lastly a bonus shot for those that have to have the crown just right (I guess I got lucky with this one).
