First Rolex
Hello TRF'ers,

After saving up money for 2,5 years (and selling my large formula1 modelcar collection) last Valentines Day I finally was able to buy myself my first Rolex!
I have been looking and reading what model would suit me best. I knew it was going to be a new SS sportsmodel and was looking at: Sub Date, Sub No Date, GMT and the Sea Dweller. I chose the latter because of its size (slightly smaller lugs) which, after fitting all models, looked better on my not to big wrists. Also the fatter caseback looks real cool! I like the clean look without the cyclops, though I do like cyclops models as well.
I'm really content with the watch and hope to enjoy it for a long time!
