Noob inbound!

Hi all, just thought I'd write a quick intro since I'll be using the forums info and will be browsing the sales threads now and then :)

I don't yet own a entire Rolex, however, I'm gathering parts for a 1600 all gold with campaign dial in order to build myself one! Since there are so many parts out there I thought it would be an interesting thing to do, and because I built it, it would be an extra special first Rolex for myself.

(I know my way around a watch, so don't worry, it will all go to plan ha)

I love the history of Rolex and can't wait to learn more about the brand by reading through the threads on here.

Cheers, PA
