New to forum!
Hello All-
My name is Michael, and I live in Arizona....Im addicted to Rolex watches. Just kidding. I am a forum administrator on another site (non related) so its kinda tough to join and get that one post status! This year has been a big Rolex spending spree. I bought a preowned Sea Dweller, that was sold back. I bought a new Sea Dweller which was traded in! Right now I have a new (just got it about 4 weeks ago) Rose Gold Datejust, with the new style band, and thicker bezel. Its got a mother of pearl face, with rose gold roman numerals. I really like the solid gold band, it makes the match much heavier and gives it a great feel. I wear it alot! Already has a few minor scratches to prove it! But I buy them to wear! My beater watch if you will is a (preowned bought in 2002) datejust. Its a stainless watch, with a blue face, and roman numerals. I bought both watches from a very well known Rolex dealer in AZ called Hamra. They have the largest selection of Rolex watches around. Well Ill stop boring everyone, thanks for having me! |

Let me add my welcome to TRF, Michael. Glad you found your way over to our merry madhouse. Stick around and post often. We like members who post enough to keep JJ from hoarding the bandwidth here.
And definitely post pics of those two beauties. Personally, I'm a sucker for Roman dials.

Thank you, buying watches was 10000x easier then figuring out how to post a pic. I had no way of cropping it until I downloaded a free program from google. Anyway, its not the best pic. But my rose gold looks much better in person. Its a beauty and Im really proud of it. I never thought Id wear it everyday since it seems alot of rolex owners have them in boxes more then on a wrist! But I wear them everyday....I just bought a 4 watch winder, and Im ready to go! I was really excited to share it with you guys though. Most people think Im retarted buying expensive watches!

I usually own one watch at a time. I have a nice Seiko back in CA, I bought a cheapie $13 Casio for work so I would not break the Seiko. Now that I'm not in such a dangerous environment I want a Rolex, but then need a home for my other watches. Ebay? Donation? What do you guys do with old watches?
