Hello From Mississippi!

Hello Everyone,

I am new to the forum and aquired my first Rolex last month. I'm the proud owner of a two-tone Submariner with a black dial. I bought it from a local individual and completed the deal at the AD where it was purchased new in 1995. It was dead mint with all paperwork, boxes, and accessories.

Jeff

Congrats Jeff,

And welcome to TRF, the best Rolex forum on the planet

I think a sub is the best way to start out your Rolex collection.

You may think hey, I only need one, but you have two strikes against you, maybe three.

1. You bought a Rolex (addictive)
2. You joined TRF (very addicitive)
3. Due to the current economic crisis there are some smokin deals on the Buy/Sell section of TRF

Good luck and may I suggest a Daytona, a GMT or a Milgauss next

What part of Mississippi? I have family in the Tupelo area

John

Hey John,

My folks are from Tupelo originally. I'm located just outside of Memphis, TN. Thanks for the welcome to TRF!
