1st Rolex :)

Fell in love with this as soon as I saw it. Just had to have it. Unfortunately it's not the original bracelet.

I don't think it is, just a 'Shock-Resisting'. Precision, isn't it? The one in the Denison case. I did look it up but I'm on the go and can't remember ATM XD

And it came with a brown leather band; I didn't think it looked as good. I'll post a pic of that when I get back.

Hey, as promised the pic with the brown strap.



Also, if anyone knows anything about it, that would be nice to hear, it was a bit of an impulse buy. Cheers.

Congratulations. My first Rolex looked very similar. Be careful. It can be addictive.
