Found a new forum.

Greetings all. My name is John, recently moved to north Florida, and have loved Rolex watches since i was 15 or so. That wasn't 2 years ago. I browse some other web forums from time to time, and this looks like a good one to add to my list.

I have a small collection which makes me happy. Here's a (bad) pic of it.

Pictured is my TT Blue Sub, LV Sub, new style SS DJ with roulette wheel date dial, my trusty SS Date and finally, my TT MidSize DJ with the jubilee.

By the #s for those of you who like references: 16613, 16610 LV, 116200, 15200, 77513

LV sub has been hogging most of my wrist time recently.

Hope to have some fun around here.

Welcome to TRF, John!

Somehow, I have the impression that you're trying to tell us that you have a handful of Rolex watches?

You have a very nice and versatile collection there!

Stick around and have fun!

Welcome to TRF, John. You live just up the road from me here in St. Augustine!!!

That's a great collection of Rollies - you should be very proud and thankful to have such a clutch of fantastic Rolex watches.

Here's my collection, and don't forget to enjoy your time here on the board!

Just like many, I'm on the several lists for my SS Daytona. I also eventually see a DayDate sometime in my future. And an older Pepsi too. ND Sub is very tempting, and finally I'd like to get an Explorer....like the simplicity. I'm in the process of buying a house, so once the dust settles, I'll probably treat myself......we'll see how much play money is leftover.

Art, good to see a friendly face.
