Newbie Here

Okay, just got done typing a long "intro" post, but it never posted...odd.

Anyway, a member of GlockTalk.com told me to come over here because I was asking Rolex quetions on a gun board, and, well, he said this place would be much better. Duh! Thanks!!!

I'm in the market for my 1st Rolex and prefer a GMT-Master II, Submariner, or maybe even an Explorer II. I'm currently trying to sell a Heckler & Koch Mark 23 in order to partially fund this purchase. Kinda odd trying to hock a gun for a watch, eh? Usually it's the other way around.

I do have a few nice watches, but nothing too great:

• Tungsten Carbide Movado Valor
• Tag Formula One Chronograph
• Titanium Tissot T-Touch
• Seikos (3)

Anyway, looks like a great place and I can't wait to learn more. I've done a lot of reading, but haven't found too much info on how to spot fakes. I've been looking at "pre-owned" Rolex sites, and I just feel leary about purchasing a watch from some of those places.
