Icon10 I just got my first Rolex! 14060M Submariner

..and I'm also new here!

My name is Bram, I'm from Amsterdam and I just got my first Rolex (and first REAL watch ;) )that I bought to celebrate a business success, as well as the upcoming birth of my first child :)

I did a lot of research (always thought my first Rolex would be a DJ2) and ended up choosing the 14060M for it's clean look (no date, 2liner, no rehault engraving) that I absolutely love. It's an F-series from 2004.

I was also looking at 5513's but the ones I REALLY liked were outside my budget, for now :p

So I decided to buy this full set from Giles at Oakleigh Watches in the UK.
Here's some pics :) I hope to contribute to this forum, it's already given me a lot of knowledge

Congratulations. I couldn't help but think how similar our situations were regarding the purchase, though mine are quite a long time ago. I hope that you were it for a long time-

Great choice!

16610 is my favorite Rolex but I think the no-date is even nicer looking.

That's pretty much the only Rolex you'll ever need. Haha. I had plenty but ended up with just 16610 and 16710.

My first "real" watch as well! I almost have the exact same watch except I have a "Y" series from 2002-03.

Congratulations on all accounts! Excellent choice...
