Greetings from Philadelphia!

Hello everyone!

I am brand new to the forum and relatively new to Rolex ownership. I have been a member of Watchuseek since 2011, but hadn't posted much there for the last few years until I recently purchased a vintage Oyster Date 1503 (my first Rolex). I've attached a wrist shot below.

I have an Omega Speedmaster Reduced Triple Date, a Seiko 6139 "Pogue," a vintage Vulcain Cricket, and a Seiko Solar Diver Chronograph, but I've wanted a Rolex for years. Finally getting to be part of the club sparked my interest in getting back involved in the forums. I purchased the watch to wear on my wedding day next year, but I'm not 100% sure it is THE watch for me. (edited)

I'm looking forward to meeting new people here and talking watches!

Best,
Steve

Thank you, Jay! It's both my first Rolex and my first gold watch so it was a big purchase for me. I love the charm of the vintage movement and how the gold has developed such a warm character. I'm hoping to one day get some more modern Rolex pieces, though.
