First post, long time lurker.
Hey all,
I've been lurking here for quite a while learning what I can as I'll eventually buy my first Rolex. I've already learned a lot. I'm 56 years old and own a few nice watches - Tag, Raymond Weil, Omega but no Rolexes. My first purchase will probably be a Sub but I know eventually I'll buy a Daytona, which, for me, is the Holy Grail of watches. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and love this forum. Regards, tmac |

Welcome. My advice, go for they Daytona and then the sub.
Both icons, but it's a better order.

I did just for the experience. Now, I buy NIB from trusted dealers like some in TRF. I am new here to. Yes, if you stay here, you will end up owning several Rolex watches my friend. I blame everyone in TRF for my habit....lol
