Icon20 Hi from Toronto
Hi guys,

Just registered. I've been sucked into watch blackhole about 3 months ago

Have a few vintage Timex(es?) , a couple Seiko and a couple Bernhardts.

But anyway, I've recently gotten my hand into a vintage Date 1500 from 1972 (along with original Jubilee). I know, I know. Too early, bla, bla, bla. But I can't resist since it's a very good price. Don't worry, it's genuine. Did my research

*sorry about iPhone image quality. bad lighting too*



Anyway, I need to see a watchmaker to get the links shorten. Right now, I only wear it for a few hours after work until before I go to bed. Can't believe how long the wind lasts! Not I realize what the rest are saying about Rolex quality.

Okay, enough for introductory post. Hope to learn more and more everyday from you guys (and probably some transactions? )

Welcome! I'm also from Toronto, and also started (in Rolex) with a vintage peice. I too was sucked into the black hole you speak of! Let's see where it leads...

Cheers and enjoy!
