Still being fairly new to learning about rolex, some of these are dumb, and some not so much. I know when I came into the rolex world, I was clueless as to why two watches that look nearly identical, could vary so much in price. I am still clueless, but smart enough to know I should do some serious research prior to buying anything.

You guys crack me up. I bet we have all been guilty of starting a thread like this. I know I have.
I think when you first get introduced to Rolex you are so excited that you just want to make sure you do everything right. We just wish they would use the search function before asking the same question over and over.

Yup. My first question was a variant of the "What can you tell me about my Rolex". It was/is a 1960s model...but even stumped TRFers re details about the original band etc.
