Hi all, Im new to the forum.
Hi everyone, hope all is well. This is a great forum, I decided to officially introduce myself now that I have had the chance of owning a coupe of Rolex watches the past few years. My intent is to just learn and soak up the experiences of others.

I am a biotech manufacturing mechanic (17 years) and appreciate all thing mechanical.

My first Rolex watch was a datejust 16233. I enjoyed it for a few years.
Now I have a datejust 116200 (previous owner changed to a fluted bezel)
I have added a see thru case back on the 16200 because I enjoy seeing the guts (i know - yikes).

Why the brand Rolex, it just catches my eyes like no other brand seems too. I am an absolute sucker for band designs and Rolex really appeals to me in that regards. Anyways hope everyone is having a great day, i will peruse the threads. Here are a couple of pics of my gear .



Cheers
-Stephan
