Hello from the caribbean

Hi,I am new to these forum,and I am very excited to be part of it.For those of you who do not know where Puerto Rico is,we are in the caribbean next to the Dominican Republic.Small island 100 miles long and 35 miles wide.We are part of the US and enjoy much of the same things available in the US and other parts of the world. I am a physician and have been a Watch fan since my childhood. My father used tohave nice watches around,mostly Rolex.In the past I have had Cartier watches,Jaeger, Chopard and the like,but enjoy Rolex watches the most.Currently I have a nice SS Daytona and recently purchased an LV.I have access to a lot of technical info on watches since one of my best friends is a Watchmaker who concentrates mostly on Rolex.I have seen everything from nice Bubblebacks to vintage Daytonas and pre Daytona chronos.By the way very nice Valjoux 72 inside these chronos,it has been a privilege to see these in person.Any difficult technical ? ,just ask as I have these wonderful resource and a very kind spirit might I add.Great to be here,apreciate all the insight and fun on these forum.

Hi SSonly,

I do know where Puerto Rico is!; Is where I was born and used to live untill I was 23yrs old and joined the Coast Guard. Nice to see another Boricua in this fine forum.

Welcome SS (it can be a more rewarding experience to add your christian name only to your profile in the real name section).
Anyway, it sounds like you have had a fair bit of experience with watches and I'm pleased to hear that you like Rolex.
Please enjoy and thanks for introducing yourself
