Welcome Mike
Seems like Rolex is a family affair for you. I'm guessing your favorite sport is soccer? I hope you enjoy the forums and have some fun

Hi Mike:
Welcome to The forum. There are many forums out there but this is the best in my opinion. You have a great collection going on right now. Don't worry; it will get larger after being here for awhile. IT'S AN ADDICTION  Terry Newton

Welcome to TRF, Mike. Glad you decided to join the fun at our friendly forum.
Nice starter collection. Don't worry, stick around here long enough (a couple of weeks at the most) and you'll start to see additions to the family. As others have said, it's an addiction (uncurable).

GMTIIC that is great Mike. I guess you are feeling a little excitment in anticipation of that day when you get to put that watch on your wrist and snap the bracelet and can just sit back and admire it and really enjoy and appreciate it and it feels sooo good..................
sorry didn't mean to tease you, but it will be good

Yes I almost always play golf with the sub on, maybe when it is super hot or humid I might take it off but otherwise no. I have not noticed any difference in the timekeeping even after 600+ shots on the range. Regards Mike. |
