Just another Newbie

I am new to TRF but not to Rolex........

I actually acquired my first Rolex (two tone President) 25 years ago as a partial trade on a Porsche. Then 15 years ago I started collecting them. Since then I have bought, sold or traded about 30 or so. Currently I have 9including 2 Tiger Tudors.

It amazes me that I never heard of or found TRF until 2 days ago !!

Welcome, that's some serious currency in those watches.

I think I like your 18K Sub the best, but they are all excellent pieces

That one is truly my "Masterpiece". It is a serial P and was supposedly designed for the Basel watch show. It has the Lapis Lazuli dial and all of the correct paperwork from Rolex. I have been told it is a "one of a kind".

My two personal favorites are the 18K YachtMaster 2 and the Platinum Meteorite dial Masterpiece........

I do that intentionally so I always know what time it is in every time zone in the world..........


Actually most of them are in the "stopped"....... time zone
