Only needed to use the micro adjustment and set the time, now its on my wrist and feels every bit amazing as it looks

First time trying on the 5711 blue. - background info + pics
Hey guys.So after a long hunt to try and find the 5711 in blue before deciding which watch is my next, I have definitely made up my mind.I have a habit and history of annoying AD's before pulling a trigger on a watch. I need to be 100% sure before pulling I do, and I think that is why I have never flipped a watch before.So the opponents were the 5167, and the 5711 white.I love the AP 15202, however just too big for my taste on my 6.25 wrists.I tried the 5167 on several occasions; and though I love the dial, the watch doesn't feel special to me. It didn't make my heart race.Then I tried the 5711 white. I absolutely loved it and was also being offered a very good deal on an 1 month old extremely mint one.I was really close to pulling the trigger, but I haden't tried the blue dial before, and that's why I was hesitant. I needed to know.Today, almost 2 months later, I finally was able to find a 5711 blue in the flesh, and though it is a close call with the white, this one is the winner for

pam346 or pam 388
Gentlemen, what what you?I went to my local AD on try these two beauties on..... 3 days automatic, vs. Hand wound titanium. What say you?

Help me understand the random serial number
Can random Rolex serial numbers start with a letter and then a series of numbers or must they always start with a number and then a combination of letters and numbers to follow?

New incoming - their tactic worked!
Earlier this week my local AD hooked me up with a hulk when I went in to look at a DD40, this 'favour' meant I had no option but to go ahead with the DD40 purchase - I am a gentleman after all In all seriousness though, I am very pleased with this new purchase, Rolex's yellow gold is such a wonderful colour and the president bracelet combined with the fluted bezel is an absolutely winning combination. I had thought about a different dial but in the end it had to be the classic & iconic champagne with sticks The AD was kind enough to include a battery operated watch winder (much needed for my safe!) and a lovely Rolex overnight bag - plus I earned enough Avios for a weekend city break so will be able to use the bag soon. So a very satisfactory transaction and it's great to have a 'good' AD in my local city.Some pics of the arrival, meeting its new stablemate, and a couple of wrist shots in the sun.Cheers everyone RJ
