Hello from So. California

Hello everyone! I am fairly new to the watch game but I purchased my first watch back in 2005 which was a Rolex ss sub. I ended up selling the Rolex and now I own a Breitling Super Avenger. Currently it is my only watch and I love it! I hope to purchase a Panerai sometime this year.

With gas prices being the way they are...I will most likely be an onlooker rather than a collector

I miss my sub, but I think i am now accustomed to the larger watches. When I try on other watches them seem too small now.

A 40mm sub isn't really a small watch, it might just be perception after wearing a larger watch.
Anyway welcome and I hope you get a Panerai soon!

You poor guy; sell a Rolex to get a what?????????? At least you've come to your senses and decided to hang around some Rolex owners so that we can convince you to get back to the flock (Where's J.J.?). You'll have a Rolex again soon.

Welcome to TRF.
