I just bought my very first Rolex

I just picked up a submariner 14060m D serial. $4800 polished and serviced. 2 liner. Anything I should know? Tips?

That's a pretty broad question? Wind the watch, wear the watch, enjoy the watch. Congrats you now own an iconic Rolex.

It's a D serial so that would put production around 2005-2006. If it has never been serviced I would recommend getting it done. They will give it back to you in new condition with all new seals / lubricants etc. That way you know it will be running like it should and also that it will be waterproof

Take some pictures too, congratulations!
