Hello from Canada.
Hello TRF, I'm James from Toronto. I started getting into watches about 4 years ago with a 1967 Accutron and newer Speedmaster highlighting my humble collection.

I'm currently interested in getting a previously-loved Submariner or GMT Master and thought this would be a great place to get oriented to the Rolex world. I must say that in the past month of lurking around I've learned a lot about the various models and reputable sellers in the TRF marketplace.

I'm looking forward to learning more and more and eventually picking up a 14060? 16750?

Cheers.
