Hi everyone, im a newbie and thought i better say hello !
Live in Northampton, England. Been a collector of Panerai's and Omega's, now just getting into 'Rollies'. Recently bought an Explorer II (dont like bling bling rollies !). Like watches with a bit of history (hence Panerai, Omega speedmaster...that type of thing). Looking at buying an Explorer I next or ive seen a beautiful 'vintage' rolex ref: 15000 with a powder blue face. Have posted details on the forum here 'General Rolex'...would love your comments before I go ahead and buy! many thanks everyone !

Hello njw and welcome to TRF. Yes you will find collectors of all sorts here, for instance we have a bald Kiwi loon (BKL) who collects sheep.

Don't ask but I hear he does it at the edge of a cliff to make them keep backing up.

Hi njw (hope you have a first name!)

Welcome to TRF. As you can see from the crazy comments, I usually am the target, but most of these guys I've known for several years now!!

Have a blast on this forum and do post some pics of your collection when you can.

Cheers - JJ
