Another Scottish Newbie!

Hi guys!

New to this forum.

Don't have a Rolex yet but it will come some day soon. Been checking this place out for a while and like what I see.

Just got into auto watches, having bought my brand new Rado Diastar about a month ago - which I love!!

Big Date-Just fan, so I can see that being the first Rolex which I buy!

Thanks for reading.

Matt

Hi Matt

Welcome to TRF!


you can't go wrong with a Datejust, just don't mention the Rado to JJ

Enjoy

Si

Welcome Matt,

Nothing wrong with Rado, regardless what the mad Kiwi says.

Hi Matt,

Welcome to TRF! Two Tone Date Just is what I started with and still love it now, the only problem, you won't stop at one, you'll see the DayDate, Explorer, Submariner next the GMT, Stop me please :-) Never!!!!!!!!

Now back on earth :-) You'll love it here, great people with a wealth of knowledge the only thing were missing is a virtual coffee or two :-).

Enjoy!

Dave.

I like them all!

Hard to say as they're are so many variations.
I like SS watches as a rule. Not really had anything else but SS watches - and I've had a few through the years (although no Rolex so far).
Guess I could live with white gold if I had to!!

Seriously though........
All SS on a bracelet - white face with numerals. That'll do for starters.
