Hello from sunny Florida

Hello =)

I have been lurking here a while. I did complete one face-to-face Breitling Chronomat sell off the site, but I have the Rolex bug for sure.

I have been reading eBay, RF and TZ every day for the last 10 days trying to make a decision with a budget of $7,000 (for used).

What I REALLY want is a 5513 Sub with a nice patina and ::gasp:: a jubilee bracelet and raised crystal (tropic 19? something like that). Would love a gilt dial but these are so expensive. Since that watch basically doesn't exist (at least not for 7K) I have been looking instead at the following in order of price for my first Rolex:

* 90s model sub (leaves room for another cool watch)
* PVD Explorer II (leaves room for another cool watch)
* Random serial bk/ss Sub or LV 16610 (room for another cool-ish watch)
* LV Ceramic (really like the green/green for some reason)

I will continue to lurk until I find the perfect first Rolex.
