New guy checking in...

Hi

Checking in from Westchester County, NY.

After about 2 years of procrastinating I finally picked up a new Submariner (Sub C 116610) and I'm ecstatic. Just putting this watch on my wrist makes me smile! What a feeling to own a Rolex, finally.

I'm stepping up from a Tag Heuer Professional 2000 series watch which I've had for about 11 years now. Big improvement. My wife still has her matching Tag so a Rolex for her might be the next step...

Good to be here. I've learned a lot in the past 2 days reading the forums (including that I could have probably saved $500 if I pulled the trigger 2 weeks ago) and I hope to contribute eventually.
