I should introduce myself

Well I just saw this forum, these are usually right at the top. I know kinda late since I have about 20 post and have bought a watch from a member but lets make it official.

I love watches, I have always wanted a Rolex and now is my time...no pun intended. All my other watches are cheapo's, either buy for practical reasons like my G-Shock is my beating around in watch. I have a few skeleton watch because I like to see the inners, my Swatch Irony being my favorite. Work anniversary and achievement watches.

Now that I have bought a Rolex, thou I haven't received it yet, it is going to be hard to buy a cheap watch again. It like when I bought my used Boxster, it would be hard to go back to a Honda or Mazda even thou I could by one new for the same price and my 13 years old Boxster.

Once that bar has been raised there's no going back.
