Hi from the UK

Hi all.

I'm an occasional reader; long time member of other specialist watch fora; avid collector and some time dealer (let's face it, when you've got more watches than spaces in your display boxes some of them really have to go ... however painful that may be).

I came to the site yesterday in need of some help with an acquisition that has thrown up lots of questions when it was stripped at service. Unfortunately, I can't even show it to you yet as I have insufficient posts to be able to create a thread in the relevant category ... so, while not actively spamming, I had better get posting where I can!

Look forward to getting to know the community here better.

Simon

Thanks for the welcome so far ... a couple more posts and I can ask my question! Perhaps more interestingly for you folks, you can see an early Rolex that's got me genuinely confused.
