Icon20 New member with Timex maybe someday Rolex

Hi everyone! My name is Matt, I'm 14, and my father Chris (Numismatist) has been using this forum for a while, so I thought I would create an account and join. I have a large collection of wheatstone pennies and someday I would like to earn my own Rolex.

Right now I’m proud to wear my grandfather’s watch, a Timex that he wore for a very long time, until he passed away a few years ago. He was a the owner of a local hardware store, and was respected throughout the community. It was an honor that he passed his watch down to me.

I hope to learn more about Rolex watches; there seems to be a lot of nice people and great information here.

Welcome aboard. I would have loved a Timex from my grandfather at 14 years old... or at any age, actually.
