I've been a watch junkie for several years. My first quality watch was a brand new Longines automatic (will have to check model) picked up in Japan 15 years ago or so. I had the opportunity at the time to pick up a two-toned Submariner for $3500, so while I've started to look for a Rolex to add to my collection, I'm suffering a bit of sticker shock.
I have a 1963 Omega gold Constellation, and a few automatic and quartz watches in the collection, but no Rolexes yet. Looking forward to exploring the forum as my search for the perfect next addition continues. |

It's Heeeere!
My new (to me) GMT arrived at the FedEx office at 8:00 this morning. It was tough waiting for a break in meetings to run over there at 10:00 (got an email from DavidSW about 2 minutes after I signed for it asking to confirm that I picked it up--pretty impressive, but see my recommendation post for more details).
Once again, thanks for the warm welcome and all the information necessary to make this happen. Anyway, here she (he?) is: |
