Hello from the San Fancisco Bay Area
Hello,

I joined the forums a few months ago but have primarily lurked, researching potential future purchases. I hail from the San Francisco Bay Area of CA, though I'm set to move to the N. Dallas area in early February (company's home office relocation). I'm 29 and work as Managing Sales/Marketing Analyst.

Well, the time to purchase my first Rolex has come. I recently ordered a Milgauss GV from one of the trusted sellers here (justrolexes; Tony has been a pleasure to deal with thus far, btw) and couldn't be more excited.

I currently own an Omega Speedmaster Pro 3570.50, which I absolutely love. I'm very excited to get my hands on my first Rolex, however, and would like to thank this forum for the knowledge and brand enthusiasm that lead me to this purchase.

I hope to pick up my new watch sometime in the next week and will be sure to post pics once I do.

On a side note, I'm an avid homebrewer (beer) and welcome conversations related to brewing, beer tasting etc!

Signed: A future regular.

The Milgauss is an excellent first choice. Good luck on the move to Dallas; the only thing you will miss is the weather. Also, say goodbye to state income tax.

Thank you all for the welcome.

sea-dweller: It's nice to see a local here. I currently live in Lamorinda (Lafayette specifically), so I'm just a stone's throw from you.

scootmchoot77: The weather and anything other than flat topography. When my company flew me out a couple of months ago to look for housing, the first thing that struck me is how flat everything is. Growing up using mountains and hill ranges as physical points of reference, the flat landscape north of Dallas proved surprisingly disorienting during my short stay. I was an instant fan up Uptown, however, and nearly moved there. I ended up choosing a place in The Shops at Legacy in Plano instead as my wife preferred its shopping scene.

Thanks again guys. You should be seeing plenty of me around here going forward I'm sure.

I've lived in uptown before. It's a fun experience but you will also enjoy Legacy in Plano.

We're excited to get to familiar Dallas. If you're ever in the Legacy area let me know and I'll buy you a pint at the Ginger Man pub.

Welcome - Milgauss? Wise choice since sales guys seem to become the customer's sh*t magnet. At least the watch will be unaffected.

The internet sure seems to make for a small world. It seems I run into old forum friends more often than I do real friends/family these days.

Cheers! The world would be a better place with more bassists in it. Drummers on the other hand... :p
