Hey There Guys

New guy from the Northeast here. Been a watch person for longer than I can remember and have been slowly building my collection over time. Have had most of the major brands at some point, but bought my first Rolex (BLNR) a couple months ago and thought it was time to join up. I'm starting to dig into the Rolex brand a little bit more from the eyes of an enthusiast vs the standard "measure of success" buyer and it's been completely fascinating to me.

My "collection" as it stands currently is comprised of

PAM 212
PAM 389
JLC 60s Memovox in YG
Rolex BLNR
Bell&Ross Military Ceramic
Ulysse Nardin GMT Perpetual Plat.
PP 5711 (white face)
PP 5726(black/grey face w leather strap)


Cheers guys,

Drew

It's still missing a 5711 without a minute marker...I feel like that should be a collectors piece like the upside down airplane stamps...
