Newbie from MD
Hello all.
New to the forums and to luxery watches in general. To be honest I've always wanted a Rolex and I think I might get one soon. What drove me here is I recently inherited my grandfathers Rolex (he recently passed. ) I can't identify it, and I'm looking for information on it, including its value and repair options. I'd really like to start wearing it. What might be the best forum to do this on? General discussion? Thanks :-) |

Welcome to TRF.
Depends how old it is, but the general discussion portion of the forum would be a good place to start.

Welcome to TRF.
Where in MD are you from? There are a bunch of us here from all over the state. BTW, post pics of the watch in the General Rolex discussion section. Someone should be able to help you.

Welcome to TRF. One of the best options locally to service your Rolex would be http://www.watchmasters.net but if it a really high end/special piece the true master is Bob Ridley at http://www.watchmakers.com/ (which will of course cost more money)
Cheers, Patrick |
