New Member- Introduction, and new DateJust

Greetings everyone,

My name's Rob - been reading the forum for a while, figured it was time to join! Since almost any thread is worthless without pics....

The first picture is a 1990 DateJust TT w/Jubilee, Diamond Dial, Diamond Bezel... never thought I'd like that, but after seeing it in person yesterday, I had to do the deal.

Second is the DateJust next to my favorite, trusted "tool watch", a 5513 Submariner, freshly back from service with a new crystal.

Thanks for the warm welcome(s), I appreciate it. Looking to expand my collection now, I've got the bug and can't get rid of it :)
