Hello All

I am a new member to TRF,I have been visiting for about 2 weeks and have been amazed by the amount of information,the depth of knowledge and the incredible photography of these fantastic watches.
My brief history is:

1994 1st rolex SS oyster date
2004 SS sub date
2008 SS ladies yachtmaster (pre owned) for my wife Shirley

I am looking forward to talking to you all and feel that I know many of you already

I will try and post some photos....I apologise for the quality in advance



Speak to you soon
Regards Mike.

Welcome Mike
Seems like Rolex is a family affair for you.
I'm guessing your favorite sport is soccer?
I hope you enjoy the forums and have some fun

Hi Mike:

Welcome to The forum. There are many forums out there but this is the best in my opinion. You have a great collection going on right now. Don't worry; it will get larger after being here for awhile.

IT'S AN ADDICTION

Welcome to TRF, Mike. Glad you decided to join the fun at our friendly forum.

Nice starter collection. Don't worry, stick around here long enough (a couple of weeks at the most) and you'll start to see additions to the family. As others have said, it's an addiction (uncurable).

No worries, Mike. That's quite the collection you have there. I'm sure you will enjoy your stay on this great forum of ours. Some of the guys here are terrific with their camera work and the knowledge you gain will be invaluable.

Cheers - JJ

Hi Mike,

Welcome to the forum

Nice collection you've got going on there

Not sure if we're in the same Preston but it certainly is a small world if we are!

Good to have you on board!

GMTIIC that is great Mike. I guess you are feeling a little excitment in anticipation of that day when you get to put that watch on your wrist and snap the bracelet and can just sit back and admire it and really enjoy and appreciate it and it feels sooo good.................. sorry didn't mean to tease you, but it will be good

Hi Steve,
yes indeed I am looking forward to getting the GMT I think it will be a great every day user until the SS sub comes out with the ceramic besel
( 3 years ?)
I hope my sub does not laugh at me like it did when I bought a SS black face Daytona .
Regards Mike.
