New here
I'm new here and thought a little introduction is in order. First of all, I know very little about watches. My main interests/hobbies are motorcycles and shooting/collecting firearms. I appreciate interesting mechanical devices. Anyone familiar with Aprilia?

So, I'm here to learn a little about watches; specifically Rolex watches.

I only own one Rolex that I inherited from my father. I'll be posting about that watch soon.

Thanks

I did see that rule after I made my post. Fortunately, I was allowed entry in spite of that transgression. I will refrain from any further posts mentioning banned subjects. In my circle, these objects are not considered offensive so, I didn't think. Not here to rock the boat- your house, your rules.

Thanks guys for the welcome.

Thanks for the welcomes. I have already learned a few important things. For instance, I didn't know what "hacks" meant. "Hacks" didn't sound good until I looked it up. I now know my watch does hack.
