Hi from Scotland
Hi everyone. Just purchased my first ever Rolex. It has been a week and so far, so good! Well worth the save. Enjoyed reading the forum as a non-member and have now joined.

Good morning everyone. If you are saving to buy your first rolex my advice is to keep going. Im like a kid at christmass right now. With nothing to save for you just tend to fritter the money away a little at a time and get left with nothing.

Here are two pics of the polishing I have done so far. I think the clasp looks a lot better as does the back. Hope the pics appear! |
