Long-Time Rolex Owner; New to Forum
Hello all, my name is David and I've owned a Rolex for many years; I am very grateful that I ran across this forum. I wish I had found it years ago.
My X series GMT Master II was in poor condition because I rarely take it off - so it has been abused pretty badly over the years. I even used a wrench to loosen-up a stuck bezel which scarred the Oyster case noticeably. While I’ve been a desk jockey for more than a decade now and I don’t expose it such abuse as I once did, I still pump iron for exercise and I don’t dare take my watch off in the gym. I was ignorant to the fact that I could have my watch refurbed by Rolex. Wow! I sent it off this morning to the Dallas RSC and I am now in full-blown Rolex withdrawal. I am diligently shopping for a gently owned Rolex here on these forums. It has occurred to me in the past to buy a new one but now I am in full purchase mode. Again, thanks to TRF and all of the fantastic info and references here. I wanted to ensure I get at least once post as I shop around and contact some of you. Pleased to meet you all! -David |
