Hi! New member...

Hello, i´ve just joined this comunity because i´m about to get my first Rolex. I´m from Spain and i´ve been into watches for more than ten years now but until recently i have not been interested ins this brand. I saw a GmtII ceramic in the flesh and really liked it, i thought it a was a really well made watch updated by today standars. Older Rolexes i saw before didn´t appeal me that much and always let me wondering about their notorious weak points... but the fact is that slowly i began to dig information about vintage Rolex until i could try a vintage Gmt Master in a pawn shop, really liked it!!

Right now i´m about to get a 5513 or a 14060 Sub... so here i am. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum. Good luck with your first purchase. Based on experience: it's going to start itching after a while, and then you need to get another one, and another one... :-)
