Howdy All... not a current Rollie owner, but have plans to be one this coming Spring. I've been stricken with the sickness of being obsessed with timepieces I'm afraid.
My sickness started a few years ago upon my purchase of a Tag Kirium F1 (very happy with this watch as well). In doing some research on it, I stumbled upon the WIS community and the rest is history.
Been longing for a Rolex since living in Geneva, Switzerland as a kid (early 80's) and looking into all the jewelry windows with utmost admiration.
Have been to a local AD to look at the GMTII pieces (new and old), and while there was shown a Sub LV. Herein lies my dilemma... which to start with first. Undoubtedly other acquisitions will follow (I know better).
Personal notes -- big Formula 1 fan, enjoy working on autos, have lived in Europe, Asia, and various places in the USA. I'll be taking some photos upon my first Rollie acquisition.
Cheers Mates,
Steve

Welcome Steve,

The greatest pleasure is the anticipation of the first ever Rolex.

Savour it well and keep on posting.

Hi Steve, welcome aboard!

Ahh, Springtime, when a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of.......... getting that Rolex!!

Welcome to TRF, Steve!

Which Rolex to start with?

I would suggest you go to your AD and try on as many models as possible, and the one that smiles back at you is the one to go for.

I for my part got the SS Sub Date as my first Rolex.
