Hello, everyone! Hope all is well to all members of this esteemed forum.

I am a reincarnated Rolex fan. Many moons ago, I had a TT GMT Master and a TT Datejust, tapestry dial, that I really loved. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I had sold both and had been remorseful ever since. However, I kept my Breitling Old Navitimer that I still own today. A year later, I bought a Breitling SuperOcean to compliment the Navitimer. I enjoy both, but there seemed to be an emptiness on my wrist, which I why I bought back to Rolex recently--a Seadweller!

I chose an alternative by purchasing from an internet seller that I have been checking/following for years. The seller is "legit" and decided to buy a Seadweller, based on glaring reviews on this forum.

A GMT Master II is also on the horizon and depending on the mood of my "Chief Financial Officer," a.k.a. wife, I will pull the trigger as fast as Wyatt Earp!

I admire the wealth of knowledge from current members of this forum. Reading the threads, has been a part of my daily schedule.

May the force be with you all!

Louie

Welcome to TRF, Louie. The SD is a great choice. I picked up a new one just last Saturday from my AD. Can't seem to pry it off my wrist ever since....

Hope you enjoy your stay here.....plenty of knowledge and good friends to be made.

Cheers - JJ
