My birthday is on Sunday, and I'll be 14! Anyway, here are some pics...using a new lightbox.

Funky Rolex Pics:








Family Collection:


And I'm just playing around with my watches, changing straps, taking off covers, etc...

The watch that started my interest in watches:

Unfortunately, my morning is shot thanks to a violin audition, but afterwords I'm going to my watchmaker to check out the price of A speedmaster reduced.

Great photos Kyle.
And a Happy birthday for Sunday.
I wish that there had been forums like this when I was 13.
It may have help me to choose my watches more wisely!!

Hi Kyle!! That´s a very nice Explorer you got. You already know: I own one too, and is one of my favorite watches.
That of yours looks gorgeous with the black textured band. I´m trying to get a kevlar band for use in my Explorer and Sub no date. I like the contrast "black & white" look you get with the SS and band. Very nice!

Your pictures are very attractive as usual. Keep your good work!

Now, regarding your birthday: Hope you´ll have a nice Sunday (after the violin audience!) getting that nice Omega, and spending a good time with your family, celebrating your 14th birthday.
Have a nice week end Kyle! And I look forward to see great pictures of your new watch.
Best cordial regards, Abel

Man at 14 I thought I was cool with my 4-5 Swatch Collection. Heck, one of them even had real diamond chips on the dial. BUT A ROLEX AT 14? Good for you!

Wow such a young collector. I am sure you answered this but I am new here. How did you get started/get the watch that started it all?

Great pictures by the way.

It was my mom who got me started I guess. She was buying a rolex for my dad, that silver one with the cool bezel, and I guess I thought if they got one, why can't I? The first time I told my watchmaker that I was going to get one, he laughed...but then he saw that I was serious.
