My personal humble collection!

Hey guys! My name is Ronn. I am 25 years old, and bought my first Rolex in February of 2009 at the age of 20. It was a F Serial Date Submariner. I actually got it from a member on this forum, hence my username join date. Ever since then I have been hooked. Sadly I sold that Submariner, wish I kept it! I have had 2 other watches that are no longer in this collection as well. A SS White Dial Daytona & a SS White Dial Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Rubberclad.

Anyways, glad to share this with you guys!



Glad to be a part of this wonderful forum, and wish nothing but the best for you all!

Nice ride. You a musician? Just asking from the tattoo on your hand.

Thank you! I no longer have that vehicle anymore, btw. Sold, then purchased an Audi R8. As for the treble clef, I have played the drums since I was 12 years old. I don't play professionally or anything, but definitely still play all the time.

I have 3 GMTs now and I will add more. There's something about that reference.

Absolutely, go for gold or maybe an AP again or maybe even AP gold?

Gold Ceramic Blue Sub as the Sub is my most favorite Rolex! < This will take time.

Although if I get rid of the reg GMT2c, this would be a quick fix

Fantastic collection and you let go two very nice pieces in the AP & Daytona.

PS. I would trade that black GMT2c as well.

Ronn, thanks for sharing buddy. And you were right to ditch the AP, looked a bit top heavy.
