Newbie Hello

Just wanted to extend a gracious hello to everyone from Pennsylvania.

Ive been lurking for a while and finally pulled the trigger on a minty 71 OP date that I am thrilled with (SS silver Stick.)

I am a hobbiest vintage collector and tech with a Seiko and Hamilton focus -- but to be honest -- once I cracked the back on the Rolex, marveling at the craftsmanship, many in my collection will now be playing second fiddle.

Its great to be here and Im certain this is just the beginning of a new journey.

Nice to meet you all,
Andrew

Thanks Everyone,

Sorry no pics -- Im deliberately and disturbingly analog...

I do love the watch though, its perfectly executed yet conservative. I swapped in a matte brown croc strap I had on a GP as the USA bracelet was a little to tapered for my taste... I need to get a pressure test and then this might be my new daily for a while.

Thanks again for the warm welcome
