Hello all,

I just thought I would say hello!

I never thought I would like Rolex, I always thought they were a bit 'flash' but I tried an acquaintance's Ceramic Submariner on and have since tried on a white-dial DJII, and I have come to realise that Rolex just seems 'right' on the wrist.

I usually like to be a bit understated so my aim is to get a 39mm Explorer 1 when I can get some money together (funds always seem to go straight out the door on bills rather than fun things!) and then, longer term, something a bit more 'blingy'

I will look forward to reading and learning more on here!

Welcome
Sometimes it takes a while to like Rolex watches.
They evoke a lot of wrong attitudes.
I hope you can get the watch you like

Thank you for the warm welcome, everyone!

I think you have hit the nail on the head Lol-x - until you have tried them you don't realise why they are so good
