Actually, it only took a month from thinking about buying a replica watch to getting one. Previously in August, when travelling to Inner Mongolia, I kept my phone in my rucksack and realised how inconvenient it was not having a watch to tell the time. Upon returning, I visited some shopping mall watch counters. However, being a complete novice at the time and nearly 30, I felt I should buy a slightly better mechanical watch, knowing my target range was roughly Rolex or similar. Later, I consulted friends who understood watches, and they all said a man should buy a Rolex first. Seeing my complete incomprehension, they recommended one that matches what's inside, and after that, I was hooked on Rolex!

　　From the Explorer to the Submariner, and from the Submariner to the GMT, I eventually settled on the GMT. Among the GMT models, the 116710LN suits me best—no gold, no diamonds, just a steel watch fitting an ordinary person's status, featuring the precision I value and a date function. I placed my order during the National Day holiday, and have now been wearing it for a week. The overall feel is fantastic, with a timekeeping variance of only about ±6 seconds over the week. Since I have had some free time recently, I deliberately staged a few photos and am sharing them below.

From thought to purchase, it took only a month to acquire a Rolex 116710LN
