Hello, all!

Hey all...glad I found this place, looking forward to learning a lot! Have been a Rolex owner since 1980, but not knowledgable by any means.
Regards!

Hey thanks for the welcome Prince...my first one was a gold Oyster on a leather strap that my uncle gave me as a gift on a special occasion in 1980 (I lost it in 1988)...my second one was a plain steel GMT Master purchased in 1988...had it until 2001...these past 5 years I've been wearing a Luminox in stainless & carbon fiber...it now needs a new battery, so instead, I picked up a NOS J Series Sea-Dweller today...I'll have it on my wrist come Tuesday...nothing special or rare...I'm a one watch owner...LOL...I tend to beat the living daylights out of my Rolex's...they stay on my wrist 24/7 most of the time...

Thanks for the update. The Rolex Seadweller is an excellent watch, and don't forget photos. Even though you may see pics of other SDs posted on TRF, they are not YOUR SD!

Cheers...
