Greetings from Alberta, Canada!

Hi folks. Long time watch fan (Omega) and am planning to make the move into Rolex shortly. The watch bug got a hold of me about 10 years ago and since then I have done my best to corrupt others (with pretty good success!). Currently am wearing a Speedy Pro but also have two SMP's and have cycled through a number of other Omega's in past (I gave my Dad my 2254.50 SMP and have a feeling I will never see it again)

Am finally at a stage where I can look at a Rolex. Debating back and forth right now on a SS GMT or a SUB (the wife is pushing me to get a gold / SS Sub but I am not 100% convinced yet). Planning to head back to the AD this weekend and hopefully make my decision. I am really on the fence and it seems like my choice changes every day. Maybe time to ask Siri to flip a coin? Looking forward to joining in the convo on these forums...cheers.

I have a few Omega's and Oris' and love them as much as my Sub. You won't regret venturing into Rolex. It took me a while to buy my first but man, I already want another.

Welcome to TRF. I love Alberta - especially nearby the mountains just to beautiful.
