Greetings all...

I am new to the forum and I wanted to intoduce myself. I am not a proud owner of a Rolex just yet but soon to be. I will post pics, etc as soon as I make my first purchase.

I have enjoyed "lurking" the site for info on Rolex watches and have learned a lot so far. Looking forward to future posts.

Cheers, Joe in California

Thanks for the warm welcome all.

Fitchy- I am considering a SS Submariner w/ or w/o date, GMT w' black/red bezel, or I may splurge on a TT blue Sub. which is my absolute fav. Rolex.

I've wanted a Rolex ever since I was 15 yrs old. I am now 35....and it's time. My current ESQ SS "gmt style" simply does not cut the mustard.

I had no clue there were so many other Rolex enthusiasts out there. ie on this forum. I told my girlfriend about this site.....and she cracks up. Hey, girls like their diamonds right?

A Rolex looks good with anything you wear.

Cheers, Joe

Fitchy- I just sealed the deal on a pre-owned TT Submariner blue, stainless steel and gold.
This is the watch I've wanted for while now. I was just about sold on a SS Submariner, but I went all out for the two tone!!

Pics to come soon.

Hi Joe "CONGRATULATIONS" on your first purchase, Submariner a is a fine watch.

I was 32 when i puchased my first Rolex, a Sea Dweller 4000, its currently at Rolex getting a new crystal and its second service.

I will post pictures when my baby returns home. its said that a dog is for life not just for Christmas, this is untrue, a Rolex is for life!

All the best

First, let me add my welcome to TRF, Joe. Glad you stop lurking and joined the party.

Second, you have made a friend for life when JJ finds out that you've settled on a TT Blue Sub. He's going to be insufferable, showering you (and the rest of us) with even more pics of his baby.

But despite that, do stick around and have a great time here.

Almost exactly what my girl said too. When I go to look at Rolex she loves to come along to look at diamonds. She says she would rather I spend money on a Rolex then on a weekend in Vegas.

Serious congratulations on your TT Blue Sub. I was going to clearly recommend that as the one for you to buy (might as well get what you really want), but you bought it already! Thrilled for you! I bought mine about two weeks ago and love it! You will too Dude! Pics please when you get a chance! Welcome to the "Blues Brothers" and to the forum..
