Hello,

This forum for Rolex collectors is really great. I’ve gained a lot of excellent information about this area of collecting that really amazes me.
I purchased my first real watch (Rolex) last year at Ben Bridge Jewelers in Brea, CA. A colleague at work recommended this dealer after a bad experience with another jeweler in Dana Point. I opted to purchase the no date Sumbariner because the date function is unnecessary to me. The salesman in Dana Point told me,” You don’t want a no date watch. You want the Date Sub as it will be easier to sell later.” I don’t suffer that kind of sales approach so I went elsewhere. The salesperson at Ben Bridge was helpful in my inquiry and I went home very happy.
I have a small number of watches including my Granfather’s Ball Railroad watch, A Zodiac Seawolf that I purchased during Basic Training at Ft. Campbell, KY. I wore that for two tours in Vietnam and it runs fine today.
I’m happy I found your forum and look forward to participating here.
Thanks,
Larry S

Thanks Fred, That's a neat pic of the Rolex logo on the watch crystal. A buddy told me that my new Sub had one and I didn't believe it because I just couldn't see it. Eventually it was apparant.

Welcome to TRF Larry

Awesome choice I recently sold my 16610, and now am thinking of going a 14060m :-) you have made an awesome choice in watch and an even better choice to hang around TRF

Enjoy!!

Dave,
What is so unique about Rolex is the variety of models available. I prefer to be understated and Rolex does that. If a bloke wants flash he can find that too. They all have one thing in common and that's perfection in all of their offerings.
I'm really dig TRF.
Later Mate!
