First Post

I must say, I didn't realize the interest in Rolex until I found this site last week. This is a great site with plenty of useful information. Both the wife & I are conservative & we never thought of paying $$$$ for a watch. After pulling the trigger, we both love our time pieces with no regrets.

Recently purchased two Rolex's, a date/just for the wife & a Turn-O-Graph for myself.

The turn-o-graph picture is identical to mine & the picture was taken from the internet & I do not have a picture of my wife's Rolex as of yet.

Anyway, I'll continue to lurk & appreciate the info that is shared here.

Rich - welcome to TRF. That is a mighty fine looking TOG. I love that watch. Maybe I should get that for myself instead of buying a Midsize DJ for my wife... Nah, who am I kidding: The Mrs. deserves it.

Welcome to TRF Rich..........

My wife and I are conservative too.. It fits right in with buying quality and a watch that will last a lifetime if you want it to...







(well, of course, watches are one of my hobbies too, so I have enough watches for a few lifetimes...........)..

Welcome indeed...but now that you are officially no longer a lurker, please chime in / join the discourse - if you like.

That is definitely a cool watch, and one that we don't seem to see enough of here. I would like to learn more about it myself.

Cheers!

Thanks to everyone here for their warm reception. For the short time I've been lurking these pages, I do not read about or see many TOG's. Maybe I'll start a trend

Hi Rich, welcome to TRF, great group of folks here!

Your TOG looks great, is it a roulette date wheel or are all the numbers red?

My wife and I USED to be conservative when it came to purchasing watches, then I joined TRF...

The date wheel is white & the numbers are in red & the second hand is red also.

You are right, this site is contagious
