Hello from Yorkshire

Hello all.

Just joined after snooping for a while whilst researching my first rolex.

Finally bit the bullet yesterday and purchased a new SS submariner date in black. Really liking it.

I assume the delay was the instinctive dislike and fear that spending money creates in a Yorkshireman

Welcome!

Welcome!


Still sweating now.

Joking aside, I wanted to be sure before buying. Also had my eye on a bremont u2.

In the end the rolex won. The U2 was very nice and may be added to the collection one day.

The U2 was very nice and may be added to my slow growing collection in the future.
