First Rolex on the way!
I've posed before thinking I was going to buy my first Rolex a year ago but things would come up, like buying an engagement ring and a wedding ring. I put off getting what I've wanted for years, being an 116610LN, to address other things that life throws at you.
I first wanted a Rolex when I was 15 or 16. I saw the white Milgauss and I fell in love with it. I dreamt of owning that watch and taking it everywhere. After years had passed, I realized I wanted a date on whatever Rolex I bought. I researched and found the 16610LN and the 116610LN. I fell in love with the cyclops, clasp, and unidirectional bezel. I went to try on the 116610LN a year or two back and I immediately knew that that was the watch I wanted. Fast forward to today.. I got a message from my wife, who I will be seeing in a week and a half, that she bought the 116610LN! I sent her money to cover most of the watch and she covered the rest. I can say that this is one exciting day. I'll have pictures in a week and a half (this is going to be the longest week and a half ever). IMG_2749.jpg   Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Congrats! Great story and great watch!
I just got my 116610LN 2 days ago. The first Rolex I have ever acquired brand new. I have owned/flipped over 50 different Rolex watches, all pre-owned. Nice to actually have my name on a warranty card for a change!
