Icon17 New to TRF

Hello from Scottsdale. I purchased my first mechanical watch a couple of years ago, an Omega Seamaster "James Bond", black face, model 212.30.41.20.01.002. This fantastic, beautiful watch become my daily wearer. It got banged up in the process and started losing time.

So while the watch was being serviced (8 long weeks!), I started browsing different watch forums and ultimately purchased my first Rolex, a vintage model 1503 14K gold Oyster Date, pictured below. I really love the looks of this watch. My second Rolex, a sub 16610 V serial, was purchased today from TRF! For my fourth watch, now my daily wearer, because I don't dare bang up my new mechanical time pieces, I bought a gently used Tag F1 Grand Date, all black with a black rubber strap. If it takes a beating, who cares... it's a quartz watch.

So I figure I'll wear the Omega on Saturdays, the sub on Sundays, and the gold Rolex on the occasion with a matching suit.

Thanks for reading!
