Hello from Houston

I have been a member for a few months, looking at all of the different Rolex models. To be honest, there is not one I do not like. They're all good.

When I buy one I'm tempted to buy a Submariner. Not because it is one of the most popular ones, but because my Grandfather was a submariner in the WW1 era.

Here are a couple of pics of a Hamilton pocket watch he was presented with in 1918.

Hope you enjoy.
