To echo the concurrence from eveyone else. Don't call what you don see.
Based on the mechanics, it sounds like you came in and executed a proper pivot, watched to touch then glanced up to pick up the ball.
This sounds fine, I disagree with the "rimming" methodology, you as the base ump need to make a decision, either go out and stay out or come in and take the runner arround. The rimming causes nothing but problems, if your partner is athletic and busts out seeing that your out, then you come in and there is a play, now you've got two umps at one play, very bad.
By the way, where was your partner the plate ump? Was he parked behind the dish "diddling" himself or moving out into the infield to observe the fielding of the ball since you came in
