New Member Reporting in!!
I have been trolling the forums for a while and was really impressed with how nice many people are around here.
That said, about me. I am 27 and currently reside in Milwaukee, WI. I work for Zurich North America and I am presently a graduate student at Boston University. I bought my first Rolex when I was 25. To me it was a rather modest purchase...16234 Datejust, Steel oyster bracelet with white gold fluted bezel and blue face. After a year of joyful ownership, I started to get a tremendous itch for something bigger and better. Three weeks ago I become the proud owner of a brand new 16613 Submariner in two tone with black face. I do not have any pics of the Datejust handy but here are a few of my new joy. I do SCUBA dive regularly but will not risk scratching my new favorite watch. I look forward to chatting with everyone. Ryan |

Wow, congrats that's a great looking Sub, I'm sure you are on cloud 9 right now
On your second Rolex at your age, you are doing very well I hope you will stick around and share your experiences with others here, it is more fun to participate

Me too!! The black face appeals to me so much more. That and the last few watches I owned had blue faces so I was getting a bit tired of it. Nice to meet everyone!!
