Icon7 Now I can see all the pitures!

Greetings:

I am new to the forum though I don't have a Rolex yet. I am a disabled Vet who survived the Army, and over 3 yrs ago the biggie, Stage 3b cancer.
I have been looking for a Rolex for over 2 yrs now. I have a drawer with over 10 watches or maybe 20? I want a Rolex that will last me the rest of my days, it doesn't have to have a date, I am limited on cost. What is my best bet for $4k?
Thx for any recommendations!

Greetings and welcome! I can relate to limited funds; I'm on a disability retirement. The ole income ain't what she used to be. I had my '87 TOG restored in May. It's worth around $3,750, + - . I love, cherish and appreciate it! You don't need a gold Daytona and Rolls in the drive to be welcome here. Great group of folks from all walks of life. Wishing you all the best.

Very well said Thunderball... Welcome Hawk and thank you for what sounds like years of Army service, and Godspeed on your prognosis as well. When and whatever you purchase, please be very careful as to the seller. Do tons of diligence work and check them out thoroughly sir
