New to Forum, Hello!

[clay1680]

Hey everyone, I'm new here, post numero uno. My name is Clay, I live in Chicago, and I have a small watch collection, two of which are Rolexes. I'm looking to add another vintage piece and have a lot of questions, and I thought this would be a great place to start.

Here are the watches I have so far, a 1981 two-tone Datejust that my dad gave me when I graduated college in '99. I wear this watch all the time. I used to think the acrylic crystal looked strange, sitting so high off the bezel, but I've grown to really like it and think it differentiates itself nicely from newer models.



I also have a two-tone sub 16613 from '96, purchased a few years ago from a family member. I don't wear this one as much, but it gets a lot of compliments when I do.



As I said, I'm looking to expand my collection; specifically I'm looking for a late 70s Vintage Submariner 1680 with as many original parts as possible. I've been doing as much research as possible but though this would be a great place to get some additional information from collectors who are more knowledgeable than I am.

Anyway, looking forward to posting on the board, thanks!
Clay
