Dipping my toe into the Rolex waters!!

Well, I finally took the time to actually join this fine forum. I spend most of my time on a Breitling site due to the fact I own one. Rolex has always had a sweet spot in my heart but as of yet have never acquired one. Needless to say I really enjoy this site, being a WIS, and have nothing but great praise for how it is run. As most of you know there is a much greater pool of knowledge and expertise about Rolex and watches in particular than there is from an AD or publications. After spending close to 2 years lurking on this site I am very glad to be here.

Thanks!

Thanks for the welcome guys. I have the Steelfish model from Breitling, which I have really enjoyed. It has taken a while to get used to the heft and size of the watch. I feel like I have rounded off a few door frames since owning it. I don't know how it started but around 3 years ago I really became interesed in "automatic" watches. It's a shame it took me this long to realize what a great world I was missing out on, but as you know once you get started it's pure addiction from that point forward.
I apologize I don't have a picture of my watch at this moment.
