I just found an interest in Rolex as recently as about a month ago, I was very fortunate to get a tip from a TRF member to the availability of a new Sub 114060 at relatively local AD. Looking around I picked up an older YM 16622 for a very good price here.
I ultimately want a hulk as an Irish fellow. But I can't justify, nor afford the premium they command.
So to tide me over and ensure I have a decent rotation, I picked up a few new Tudors. A red bezel BB and the Blue Heritage Chrono.

I will continue to add to my collection, but unless I get an AD connection for the aforementioned hulk, i will most likely venture into picking up a vintage Rolex if I can find a deal and add a few more Tudors.
