Hi from Scotland
Hi folks, recently joined the forum so a little bit about me, and watches.
I’ve always been keen on watches and built up a decent collection over the years, mainly moderately priced ones. These developed a bit of a theme a few years ago when I bought the watch produced to mark the 100th edition of the Tour de France. Since then I added the 100th Giro, la Vuelta Espana and the Tour of Britain watches! In January 2018, with a significant birthday on the horizon, I then turned my thoughts to my childhood dream, the Rolex Submariner. Rather naively I assumed you just walk into your local AD, hand over money, and walk out with one! I was surprised to hear that my two local AD’s had either closed their waiting lists or had one three years long. It was then the search began across the UK and Western Europe. Three months later I got the call I’d been waiting for and headed down to Cheshire to collect.  Since then I’ve added a 1968 yellow gold Tudor and a 1924 art deco style Rolex in rose gold for my wife. Just need more days in the week to wear them all! |
