Aloha from Hawaii

I joined TRF to buy an Archimede Pilot (strange entry to a Rolex Forum, I know). But read some of the threads here, liked it, and will definitely be sticking around. So I thought I'd introduce myself properly.

I'm a student in my last semester at the University of Hawaii. In May 2012, I will graduate with a BBA in Finance, Accounting, and International Business, and with minors in Chinese and Economics. Since this is my last semester, I'm really focusing on passing all four sections of the CPA exam and the first level of the CFA exam. For those here who have done either (or both), you can probably relate to what I'm going through. Haha. And for all the rest of the boring details of my academic life and work history, you can visit www.TheJonFung.com.

Anyway, I've been into the watch hobby for about two years now--having worn watches daily since fifth grade. While I don't own any Rolexes yet, I do hope to one day...probably starting with a pre-loved 16610...just waiting for one at a steal of a price... And what better place to learn about them and perhaps stumble upon one in the WTS board than on TRF? :)

Cheers!

-Jon

The Finance degree will prove useful to help source funding for your new Rolexes!
