First Rolex and a new member!
How we doin everyone?
Just wanna say I'm new to the forum and very glad to be here Well I've been a member for awhile actually but I only browsed since I recently received my first Rolex from my old man for my 18th birthday. A 2001 GMT-II Pepsi. Absolutly delighted with it I have to say, amazing watch. I originally planned on getting a Sub but decided since I'm younger I wanted something a bit louder, bit of a sportier look and I think the Pepsi does that job perfectly Hopefully the first of many anyway so I better start saving cause I've really caught the bug. Anyway like I said, glad to be here and thanks for all the info when I was struggling to decided which model to go for. |

Welcome, the GMT is a great model from which to start, and it can create the spark to look for other models.
I'm a big vintage GMT fan, so when you have got a modern model/s the vintage Rolex are another world again.
