Never too late...

Hi all,

Just join this forum. For years, I have always appreciate the quality and rich history of Rolex watches. However, due to some reasons, I never bought myself a Rolex. In fact, I thought I will never ever own a Rolex.

However, that change when I saw this watch 2 weeks ago. After seeing the watch, I knew I have to get it. There was one piece available last week at my AD, but it was reserved. I was told to wait for the next shipment..

However, due to some reasons, that person did not bought it and so now, its in my collection. :)



BLNR and friends :)

Congrats and welcome!
It's a great reference and don't be surprised if there are more to come. It's contagious, especially if you'll be lingering around here.

Congrats, and I believe there will be more rolexes in your collection soon.

I started with the BLNR as well, and today, after 8 monts, I am badly infected.

I will keep them at the moment. I like to collect watches that represent the brands (IWC-Pilot, Panerai-Historic Luminor). But who knows what will happen in the future. :)

Well, I never thought I will ever own a Rolex. Maybe a few months later, I might get my 2nd Rolex :)

Very nice collection. I notice you tend to go for Leather straps. How are you liking the Rolex bracelet?

It's my first watch on bracelet. The bracelet fits well and is very comfortable.
