Got my first rolex
Hi,
Rolex first came to my consciousness 12 years ago. Since it was too expensive at that time, I got myself a Tudor Submariner which I sold a year after. In 2002, I started making inquiries again about the Sub with date. Unfortunately, I still could not afford one. Last Saturday, I finally purchased my first Rolex, a Sub stainless steel with date from an authorized dealer. Now that I own one, I no longer will look at any other watch. |

Congrats and welcome.
Sounds like you have waited a long time to get your Sub. Now that you have it the fun is just beginning. Enjoy

Congrats on your purchase! That's a wonderful watch (I love mine)! Let's see some pics! But, I must caution you, you may say that you won't look at another watch, this site will make you long for additional watches to add to your collection.

 The problem is "what am I going to wear?"  So after nine years I started looking around again.  I liked the Day-Date, but thought it was too expensive. I bought a beautiful DJ on eBay from a quality seller for a good price. The problem was I then discovered I could get a beautifull vintage Day-Date for only twice what I paid for the DJ. So now I'm a three watch guy. My advice: RUN AWAY. GET OFF OF THIS FORUM WHILE YOU STILL CAN.  It's too late for me, but you might still have a chance.

Congrts on the new Rollie.
Since I have accuried mine, I have noticed that I look at watches all the time. New ones and ones others are wearing. It's like I have caught the bug pretty bad.
