If you've been here less than 60 days, tell us your name....

And tell us what Rolex you have, or which one you want to have at some future date..

C'mon, we're interested in your Rolex welfare.....

Right guys ??

Ed Rooney · 16 October 2007, 04:53 AM

I'm at 60 days today. Does that count?

SS Sub, 14060m

Ladies TT Datejust for my wife soon.

Tools · 16 October 2007, 04:55 AM

Glad to have you and your lady aboard Ed.

Great time pieces..

(yes, just at 60 is fine....I'd probably go all the way up to 90 days)

904L_addict · 16 October 2007, 04:58 AM

Ok. I'm Steven from So. Cal. Early on opted for a Panerai Sub instead of a Dweller. Huge mistake. Nice watch I guess, but all of their forums seem to discuss nothing but new straps and behind the wheel wrist shots. That watch is now on the sales block.

Bought my wife a salmon Datejust last Valentine's day and the thought of me not having a Rolex for myself drove me nuts!

Joining the fold with a SS GMT IIC. Honored to be part of this elite group of Rolex admirers. No turning back.

Tools · 16 October 2007, 04:59 AM

Welcome Steven,

I think you're right....After Rolex, there isn't much to turn back to

Good thread, Larry. Just couldn't resist a hijack, though!

My name is Brandon and I have a 16610 Sub. Maybe one day in the future I'll get a TT sub with the blue dial. Otherwise, I'm quite content with what I got.

Just under 60 days me thinks

Well, my signature says it all...

2006 D Serial Pepsi GMT & 2007 Z Serial Blue T/T Sub that I've just purchased after seeing so many pretty ones on here ! Future 'wants' are a white gold Daytona on brown leather strap, Sub LV, GMT II Ceramic, and a white face S/S Daytona...

Up to near on 200 posts and enjoying catching up every evening (and day if I ever get a spare minute at work !)...

Great place

Except for the stolen SUB all are safe and sound at home. The new purchases (2007) were the fault of ALL YOU GUYS. A noobie to this site, but as you guessed, not a noobie to life. My wife and kids, the ones that live at home with me, are somewhat amazed that I have gotten addicted to this site. Their running joke around the house to any general question or life problem is "what does TFR think". Hey, at my age I just about laugh at anything life has to offer.

Hello again, my name is Trevor and last month I bought my first Rolex sub 14060M from my local AD. Fantastic watch and I love learning about the Rolex brand from ya'll. A couple of night's ago we got our family pics. done to include my 3 month old boy, here is a pic. of me with my 7 y/o daughter......Notice the beautiful watch on my wrist.

Tools · 16 October 2007, 06:19 AM

Welcome Trevor.

Great looking daughter and watch..

Spoil her rotten, make sure her future husband won't get away with not buying her a Rolex..

davidwatts · 16 October 2007, 06:40 AM

I'm happy with my 12 day old TT DJ - although the TT Blue Sub looks nice...

Welcome Ian (or is it david?)..

I can tell right now that you have been bitten....

Give us some pics of that DJ

(and the new Sub when you get it....you know you're going to....)

ttannert · 16 October 2007, 06:51 AM

I just joined last month when I received a TT Datejust with diamonds on a MOP face as a gift from my fiance.

Now, I have been bitten by the rolex bug. I have my eye on the Daytona and the Prince.

glocati · 16 October 2007, 06:53 AM

Hey folks, Greg here, from Oregon. I signed up last Friday and posted in the New Members section but will say "Hi" again. I have a T series SS Sub Date/16610 that I bought in 1998 and an E series GMT Master/16700/"Dr Pepper" Bezel. Actually purchased 3-4 mos.ago from PonyCar/Jared who I see on here as well. I had a vintage SS Datejust 1601 prior to that.
(sold to fund the GMT)

After seeing KansaiVet's Black Dial Explorer II in person, I am really obsessing on an Exp II that as my next.
