New guy from Sweden
Hey everyone greetings from the archipelego outside Stockholm, i live out on an farly remote island the closest i get o talk to anyone about watches hmm let me think never haha.

So nice to see i am not alone, in having an healthy.... craving for nice time pieces. My collection is a small one , but i am looking to increase it.

The main reason i came apon this amazing forums is that i am actully looking for a Rolex watch for my mother that is turning 70 next year around december, i know its a long time to that date, but since i need to work as a crazy man and save up some money i was thinking better be out early this time for once in my life :D


The watch i been thinking of is a Ladys rolex 18k datejust president watch either with a diamond bezzel/dial or not, not sure yet.
My budget is around 12 000- 15000$ (will that be enough or?)

So if you guys know any thrustworty individuals that have a good reputation on the forum that is selling please pm me with their info.
Thx for listening and i hope i become friends with alot you take care.

Kind regards

Johan.A

Be aware that the dial on the ladies watches are very small and if your mother does not have perfect vision seeing the dial may be a problem.

I recommend the 'boys' size 31mm+ as a minimum size for ladies.

Welcome
