Tonight, I finally fulfilled my dream of acquiring all three gold colored Rolexes.

A little history of how I caught the Rolex Bug. As a kid, my dad always had a SS 36mm DayJust, white dial (circa early 80's). I never really cared for it as a kid, but it was given to me when I was in my early twenties. By the time I was in college, I had caught the rolex bug after I wore it to a party and people recognized it (which I didn't expect college kids to do). That same watch that was handed down to me was never serviced, so it had died and I was not very knowledgeable with how servicing works at the time (this was when the internet was in it's infancy and information wasn't so easily assessable). So, I was dumb enough to walk into a Tourneau store to trade it in and got ripped off (I traded a Rolex in for a Quartz Tag Link).

So, fast forward more than 15 years later, I picked up 4 SS Rolex new at an AD (2 DayJust II, one in SS and the other in 2-tone), a black Sub with date (ceramic dial) and White Daytona (Steel Bezel). At that time, I wanted to get a gold watch but felt that I wanted more variety and purchased multiple SS instead of a single gold watch.

Well, 6 more years went by and I finally realized my dream of getting gold watches. Here are the pics of my DayDate 40mm in both YG and WG that I purchased in Dec-18 and then a Everose Gold GMT Master II with the black and brown dial).

I am so excited about my upgraded collection and sharing some pics.
