New to rolexes

I have been collecting watches for a while, but for some reason I have avoided rolexes.

I am beginning to think about making the jump, and I am looking for a used/vintage model.

Welcome to TRF.

Vintage is a different but a very special animal.

Take your time, and take a good look around.

Good luck with your hunt.

Really funny. Thirty years ago I could not afford a new Rolex. So I ended up hunting and buying two rootbeer GMT's Best move I ever made.
