Hi everyone! I am Byron from Boynton Beach FLA. I just bought my 1st Rolex today for myself "FYI cherry was popped on wifey's 1st Rolex". The SubC figured it would be a great watch to start off my collection of luxury timepeices. It's very versatile and has an understated look I think.

Here is some pics of my collection thus far Enjoy

Welcome to the forum.
Nice collection of great watches (I find the dollar bills in the background a bit tacky)

Sigh! A new member comes in and we already have 1000's of posts here with folks (including mods) displaying their car and timepiece collections on this very site which could push close to the $1mm mark and a few greenbacks in this kids pictures gets these replies? I will tell you folks the same thing Lol-x told me if you don't have anything nice to say keep it to yourself...

I am always chill ! Go ahead and read my 3k or whatever post! I can tell you the one negative posts I had here on TRF was on a Tiger Woods thread which left me explaining myself to the forum owner (Lol-x) Steve... Anyway no need to get into a pissing contest with you... Good day sir Apologies for the sidetrack Byron... Welcome to the forums again!

Welcome to TRF Byron and I personally don't think you should feel sorry or apologize for anything! You have a great collection and I hope to see it grow a lot and soon!

Besides, I do the very same with my watch and cash...
