Hi all,

Long term un registered lurker, but just joined and will be putting up a Submariner question in the general forum, so though I’d better introduce myself here first.

I’m UK based and have been a long term Rolex fan since reading the Bond novels in the 70’s. My first Rolex was a non date Oyster Perpetual some 30 years back which is still providing long term service.

Since then I’ve managed to curtail purchases to a couple of Tags, Omega and a submariner. So not a massive collection but still interesting enough.

All the best

Welcome Rolexsubfan.

My first Roles is an Oyster Perpetual Date (1987.)

Still ticking away +2 seconds/day after service in 2016.

You have a really excellent piece with what you have.
