Congratulations! I enjoyed reading your post, thank you for sharing.
My brother is a surgeon, and I know your road ahead will be long.
When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

Work hard and harder, wear your 116600 proudly.

On a side note, your watch is made of 904L stainless steel, which is higher grade than surgical steel of 316L the scalpels are made of. The case is stamped by a 250 ton stamp of Rolex make to withstand water pressure at depths of 1220m, protecting the movement 3135 running SCOC -4/+6.

Best

Great story! Congrats and welcome to TRF!

I must say you made a great choice. I think the 116600 is the perfect sport watch. Enjoy, and welcome to the SD club as well.

Awesome. Just awesome. Amidst the "what Rolex should I wear with my Aston Martin?", nonsense, your post was refreshing. Wear it during many happy times!
