My First Post! From Chicago, Just Bought My First Rolex!
Hey Everyone,
I figured I'd join this forum as well after having picked up a Seadweller "D" last weekend from a local WUS member. I am from the Chicago area and have relatively just begun my watch collection. I can't say enough good things about this watch and now understand what the "big deal" is about the Rolex brand. It is truly an awesome piece. Enjoy the pics and let me know what you think! Regards, Daniel Jordan

Is that Sears trucking terminal still at 28th & Ashland? I worked security there when I was in college. Elgin to 38th & Ashland- that's a heck of a commute!

I don't know if it is a Sears terminal anymore, but there is definitely a large trucking terminal still there. The commute is pretty bad, but the only time I find it tough is when Howard Stern is on vacation .

I'm semi-retired, my wife is retired. I am looking for PT work, sales, but can ride it out until things get better. Don't have much of a choice, do I?

I bought it from a WUS'er that was local. He kept it in immaculate condition and was truly a good guy.
