Hi Rolex people - Canada calling

Hi. Thank you for allowing me to join your community. I have two Rolex watches...a 1991 Datejust with a Thunderbird bezel and 18 K gold and SS Oyster bracelet and a 1968 Commando with a leather strap. I sure lust after some of the great watches I see on here. Damn you folks have nice looking watches.

Are there any watch clubs or organizations in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada that anyone is aware of and if they exist will you tell me how to contact them please?

I was asked to post pics of the watches so I have done so. I would also like to know some tips about how to take a better picture of watches. I see some of the pictures on this forum are great....My pictures, as you can see, are iffy at best.
