New from DC

Hello all! I'm a former nuke machinist mate from the USS Honolulu and ever since seeing all the officers with fake submariners from our travels I always wanted to get a real one. I live and work in DC and I look forward on purchasing my first rolex soon.

I have a tiny collection of 2 Heuer's and a Luminor base.

I might just be dreaming but is there anyway that I could pick up a vintage rolex for around 3K? I've been scouring the classifieds and it's a maze. Really interested in of course the submariner as well as the GMT II and the explorer II. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to TRF.

Typically 3K and less are what an older DJ will run you. However you will get more assistance with this question if you post the same question in the vintage portion of the forum.

Thank you for your service, and good luck with your hunt.
