For my 2K post, a pic of what started it all...

Just hit 2000 posts. Yea, I'm a little s l o w e r than others but wanted to post a pic of the Rolex that started it all for me. According to Steve Mulholland's 1967 Rolex price book he posted a few days ago, it cost a mere 230 bucks back then, which was a lot, I know. I paid a bit more for it almost 8 years ago, and it's probably one of my favs in my collection. OK, I'll stop rambling now but will add, thanks TRF, I really appreciate it here.
