New gal from Virginia

Hello!

I am glad I found this forum. I am looking forward to learning more about my watches, and Rolex in general. I inherited my mother's 1983 oyster perpetual datejust when she died in 2001, as well as her Tag Heuer, I don't know much about Tags, but I believe it's an Aquaracer. I also have my fathers 2005 Datejust.

I am a 26 year old female. I currently work on a horse farm, and have mostly had physical, outdoor jobs. I wore my Tag exclusively, since of the two watches, it was the "beater", haha. I started wearing the Rolex the majority of the time a few years ago, when I discovered I liked how it felt better while I had the Tag in for a cleaning.

My father has owned A LOT of rolex watches, and my mother started letting me wear her Tag (and occasionally a rolex) by the time I was in junior high, so I have been spoiled about watches from an early age! I am looking forward to the day when I will purchase a Rolex for myself, and am sure this forum will provide me with invaluable information for that goal.

OK - here is your end of Day 1 TRF Test question:
  • What poster (poser?) on TRF was temporarily the CEO of Rolex?

Hey now, I wasn't the one asking the question!

Thanks JJ, and I certainly will post pics when I find the time to clean my watches, the poor things are filthy!

Jamie, that is a standing joke ("How'd I get pulled into this one?")...

You'll see that phrase quite often on TRF.
