Rolex are very addicting

Hi all, last year. I just bought my wife a datejust for her 40th birthday. The day after I bought my first datejust also. Matching dial, hers was a 26mm and mines was a 36mm. I guess this is how we all learn from our mistakes. 36mm is a little too small for me but I can’t just trade it back since it is my first ROLEX and it was my wife’s 40th birthday. I’ve been researching a lot about Rolex and other brands and I find it so fascinating about how detail and timely it is to build a watch. Im so INTERESTED!!!! I love the quality and craftsmanship. I don’t care about the money but I do love the rarity of some years. As of now I’m looking for a 1988 (birth year) 168000 Rolex sub full set & I did some research and found it to be rare & was hoping I find a beat up one if possible since I want to daily it. Too bad I can’t lost on watch wanted since Im new. Im in the Boston Area.

Man!!! I didn’t know they used loctite to the screws sometime. I couldn’t sleep last night as I was thinking about the sub. My local watch jeweler at Pearson Jewelry in NH worked his magic. I’m bless to daily this and let’s see what’s in the future for other collections.

I do I upload? It doesn’t give me an option.
