SF Bay Area checking in
Hello all
My first Rolex was handed down to me by my father after he bought a 18kt President. It was a 14kt Datejust with Jubilee bracelet about 40 years ago. The watch is still my family to this day. My father was a watch guy and as long as I have been into watches I realize that I do not know much about the internals/movements and wanted to better educate myself as well as get some ideas for other watches I might like to enjoy down the road. So looking forward to learning. Cheers to you all! |

Thanks for the warm welcome... I see some good Omens
Chewbacca I am a Senna fan and raced cars for a lot of years. HL65 I know it is considered an out of date medium but I have Highlander Special Edition on Laser Disc that I break out every so often . I'm with Ricky Bobby on this one, greatest movie ever made, no matter what Jean Girard says! Again, thanks all |

As a newbie I'd love that. Maybe even a monthly meetup.
