Got the bug

Got the Rolex bug a few months ago, started doing some research and found this site. Lots of great info to help me with my future purchase. I haven't made up my mind on the specific watch but am 80% certain on the Submariner. Likewise, I'm leaning on buying from an AD but may buy from a TRF member.

Thanks for all the info and advice you all have posted--GREAT SITE.

My wife and I finally took the plunge and we purchased a sub116610 LN for me and a Oyster Perpetual Datejust 178313 for her. I was able to walk out the store with mine and my wife's is on order.

We visited almost all of the ADs in the Pacific NW and we decided to purchase from Packouz Jewlers in Portland OR. Great experience all the way around. We will give them our business throughout the years to come.
