Hello All...

Just signed up and I'm glad to be here, as I have just received my first Rolex.
I have always loved watches and really any kind of timepiece, but have never owned anything worthwhile in the past!

My Rolex is a really old gold one, originally purchased in the early 1930's (I think).
Aside from that, I know nothing about it... model type, date etc.
I'm hoping that some of you experts will be able to help me out with a few questions.

Looking forward to getting to know you.

Regards - Dan

Hello again,

I have just posted it in the 'Rolex General Discussion' forum under the title "My Grandfather's Rolex... Help!".
The topic is awaiting approval and hopefully it will be up soon... maybe some of you out there can answer some of my questions.

Regards - Danny
