Howdy from Boston

Hi,

I'm new here, but I've been lurking for a while. I'm new to Rolex ownership, but I can't remember my grandfather or father ever not wearing one.

My Rolexes are a 1979 Oyster Perpetual Date in Steel and a 1952 Datejust in White Gold. (My taste in Rolexes tends toward the vintage, but I'm always on the lookout for a newer one that finds my fancy...like the Milgauss...)

My other watches (the non-Rolex ones) include a Panerai Radiomir 210, a 1969 Omega Seamaster and a Jorg Schauer dress watch.

So, it's a pleasure to be aboard and finally posting among y'all.
