I am new here too.

I have a TT DJ with diamond hour markers and looking to get a mid-size watch before the end of the year. Last weekend, I tried on the Air King and felt it was too big for my wrist so I might have to go with an 31mm SS oyster with a black or blue face.

My hubby wears his GMT II daily, and has a TT DJ with diamond hour markers sitting in the safe.

zak98 · 17 October 2007, 12:53 PM

I am Tim from the St Louis area.

I really enjoy reading this forum every night.

I just picked a new SS GMTc last Friday to go wtih my SS GMT red/black (2001). Just won a TT DJ with Champagne DD (sales contest at work). Should be getting it any day. Might sell the GMT red/black and get a TT Blue Sub. My wife has a TT DJ with MOP DD.

Thanks for all the great information.

Thank you for posting those photos, Lisa. Beautiful watch. I've tried on so many DJ's, and have been struggling with what to get. Today, I tried on the rose gold TT with the champagne/pink dial, and my wife and I both gasped. It looked perfect. So, soon enough...

Jedi · 17 October 2007, 01:36 PM

Hi. Been here since September sometime.

Currently have the following Rolexi:

16610 Sub Date circa 1993, tritium dial, drilled lugs
16710 GMT II Pepsi circa 1999
16750 Exp II (white) Z-series
16750 Exp II (black) Z-series (belongs to MrsJedi)
114270 Exp I Z-series Z-series (bought for my father, but still in my possession)

I'm thinking about retiring the Sub and replacing with a current model. I might move the collection towards divers and a vintage piece or two if I can find and afford them. But for now, it's pretty complete with the Trilogy and all!!

JamesS · 17 October 2007, 01:59 PM

Hi All,

My name is James and I've been here since sometime in September I think. The forum has been great and all the information wonderful. Probably the best forum I've participated in to this point. Y'all are great!

Currently Own:
Z-Series SS Daytona (White Dial)
Z-Series SS Sub Date

Currently Want:
GMT II Ceramic (purchased earlier this month, but returned as I'm currently looking to purchase a home and decided I should wait

)
SS DJ (White Dial w/ White Gold Roman)

thomas311 · 17 October 2007, 02:05 PM

wow, guess im a little late to this thread. been on since early sept. been visiting almost daily now, and wifeys not too happy about that...but i enjoy reading all the info this site has to offer. esp. the real vs. fakes!

hope she understands.

pictures here are absolutely beautiful and have not gotten tired of the new pics in their new homes. photos here have actually made me think about purchasing a second rolex sooner than later. well...a little bit later.

i currently own a Z16600 and love it. have been visiting ADs for a while and have never seen one in person. so when i walked into this particular AD, saw it in the glass, i couldnt walk out without it! went home a happy dood that day.

piece.

TSW910 · 18 October 2007, 05:24 AM

well, i guess im not new .. but sorta ... i've been lurking hence the post count ... but here goes

hello ya'll .. my name is Tom and live in NY and had a DJ and traded it in for the GMT II pepsi a month back http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=23360 ... so hello ya'll !

Tools · 18 October 2007, 05:27 AM

Great move Tom..

The GMT is my favorite..

(or is it the TT black Sub

)

TSW910 · 18 October 2007, 05:37 AM

thanks Tools ...

for a while after i got my pepsi .. i started to wonder if i made a good choice .. cuz my AD gave me an option of either the Pepsi (with a higher discount) or the LV (lower discount and have to wait 3 days) .. i opted for the Pepsi .... thinking that the LV is just too much of a collectors and i love to wear my rolex everyday and of course during the course of the day i always accidently bump the pepsi into things ... and thats why i went with the Pepsi over the LV ... but til this day i still wonder if i made a good choice .. but overall .. i love my Pepsi !!!!!

about-time · 18 October 2007, 07:54 AM

Hello All!

Im a newbie. I purchased a 50th anniversary submariner (green bezel) in Boston earlier this year. I love this watch. My wife wants to know why I wear it around the house in my PJs. I've been waiting 20 yrs (hence the name "about-time") to have one (I'm only 38!) because I grew up in a household (poor) in the bronx, however my dad had one. We didn't eat for a month when he bought it :). Well, that taught me to appreciate the value of a rolex. I plan to purchase a Vacheron Constantin in the future, those run about 15k on the low end. What do you all think of my choice for first rolex, also, has anyone heard of vacheron constantin, and what do you think?

Great to meet everyone!

Beef · 18 October 2007, 08:59 AM

Welcome, About-Time. I'm a noobie to this forum also. The 50th Anniversary (the "LV" as it is a.k.a.) Sub is a great first choice. It SHOULD be worn in and out of pajamas, goes well with any attire. Black tie or polka dot boxers. My wife probably wouldn't recognize me without a Rolex on. The V-C is a great high end watch, although due to name recognition, Patek-Phillipe probably has a better resell value. (IMHO) Again, welcome.

AdamW · 19 October 2007, 04:55 AM

I'm new... My name is Adam and this is my first Rolex (certainly not my last)! Just purchased it this week!

Next, Rose Gold DJ with white face! It's gonna be a while. My wife is still recovering!

Mike734 · 19 October 2007, 05:05 AM

Mike, airline pilot, GMT-II circa 1991 (bought in '93). Looking forward to learning here. I'll post some photos after I get it back from service. (It pretty much looks like every other GMT)

JRRolex · 19 October 2007, 05:08 AM

Another Noob here!
I'm John, and as the above poster said- waited 20 years (at least) for my beautiful Rolex! I'm 40, Paramedic by profession, just aquired my ss sub -no date, z series, also like the above poster said- LOVE to wear it around the house in pj's or anything else! my girl is a hottie but I can't help looking at my Rollie lately! So happy for this site, i'll probably not buy another Rolex (3 children and being a medic don't really go hand in hand with rolexs') but I WILL have this one forever!

moby33 · 22 October 2007, 07:18 AM

Hello, Kyle here, new to the forum as of yesterday...also the day I bought my first Rolex. A Z series SD.

I'm a big watch fan & have a few in my collection, but this is the first Rolex. My other future Rolex purchase is the Daytona...but I just can't bring myself to own a watch w/o a date. I've heard rumors someday soon they might be offering a Daytona w/ a date...has anyone heard that before?

Last point, check out the Avatar of my bulldog, Bosworth. This picture was taken years ago when he was a puppy and I just realized the dog tag we had made for him was screaming "Rolex". It never dawned on me before, but now I see deep down inside I've always been a Rolex man. Cheers.

Hello All! First post here.
I have a 20 year old TT DJ (picking up the lingo) and a 12 year old 18K president.
I'm lusting after a white gold daytona which means the pres would probably go. 27,500 list sound right for the daytona? Any thoughts on a reasonable purchase price on the same?
TIA, Mike in Ct

It's great to see so many new members who have some quality Time-pieces..

Regardless of the quibbling about what watch is "best", or "better"....

Rolex is still the gold-standard whereby all others are judged..
