First thread!

Hey guys,

This is my first thread on Rolex Forums! I currently own a Datejust (Stainless steel and gold with a gold face) that was bought brand new in the early 90's by my Grandfather. When he passed away this recent october, I discovered that my Grandfather left his watch to me. This watch means more to me than any other watch out on the market because it has a great amount of sentimental value. Anyways, I'm glad to finally be a member, and i hope to learn a lot! Thanks.

- Andrew

Welcome

The watch received from a loved one is very special. Its the emotion that's attached to the fine timepiece that transcends the timepiece itself.

There is lots to see here, and discussions to have, join in

Welcome. Sentimental reasons are some of the best reasons to own a Rolex.
