Ebay find - new member - glad to be back...

...into the Rolex family. Bought my wifey one a couple of years ago - retired my t-bird a bunch of years ago - but I'm back, and with one helluva find. I feel like I've arrived!! New members I see belong down in the basement with one viewer, so move me there if you wish!

Thanks everyone! Fine stuff - this watch sure looks different from my old one. What does one do with a mid 80's t-bird - 2 tone?

Hi Jed. Welcome to TRF! I like your Yachtmaster. We have a member here named JJ, who will try to con you out of your watch because that's his "grail watch." Seriously though, JJ and all the rest of us are pretty okay, and we hope you like it here!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!! I do like it here, but unlike the Porsche forum, Ducati forum, Advrider forum, and other bike forums I will have no questions about what oil to use, who has the best price on this or that mod, where to go ride, ect...so what is there to talk about now that I have the watch??!! Thanks again all

Hey Jed. Welcome to TRF, and that was a mighty good find on eBay.

eBay has been very, VERY good to me as well. All of these are eBay purchases!
