Hi all,

I joined the forum to do some research for my first Rolex watch.

I just turned 31 and I have been researching Rolex steel watched for a few months now. My only serious watch is a Longines from 1952 that belonged to my grandfather and ignited my interest in the watch world.

I live in London and even getting closer to a Rolex boutique seems intimidating... Hopefully with your help this fear will fade and I will finally pull the trigger :)

Welcome. Fearing a place that you’re going to spend thousands in? It should be the other way around!!
