Hello everyone. I had wanted a Rolex for a long long time when three years ago my wife bought me a stainless Datejust for my birthday. That was some surprise let me tell you!! Being the type of person who always jumps in all the way I hinted that a stainless Submariner might make a great Christmas present. Well two Christmas' ago Santa put one under the tree. I've got to tell you folks this is one great wife! I'll post some pictures soon but right now (actually for the past few weeks) I'm trying to decide what to get next. A two tone Datejust sounds good at the moment. Good to be here, if you know of a good place selling pre-owned in the Houston area drop me a line. Dan

Here are my two babies. The Datejust was a birthday present, The Submariner a Christmas present. I hope the future is good to me also!
