Miner's Story - 2010 update
Bought my first Rolex in 1996

2nd hand GMT

Bought my first new Rolex in 2006 about the same time I signed on here.

Since then life's been good to me and the watch collection has grown



Many daft selections and a few goodies..



All are great but only one is wonderful..

My first Rollie

Watch is great, bracelet is fantastic, lume is perfect but the bezel moves around a lot.

So all of a sudden the tool watch is not a tool watch, just bling

Ok when I'm in the office but I could never trust it if I ever go diving.

Ceramic Sub for sale here, I'll stick with the GMT.
