Rolex newb in canada

hi all.
I'd like to thank the anonymous mod who straightened out my registration issue so now I can post and view pictures and such like. thanks much.

I'm new to being a Rolex owner. my father gave me his 1958 oyster royal last august. he purchased it new in july 1958 in England while on leave from peacekeeping in the middle east.

the original bracelet had stretched out some number of years ago, and I was able to order a new bracelet and have it installed this week at the local ad. now it looks so much better!

got a couple of pics on my imgur acct. hope you like them! its a great watch in pretty good condition, and dad even kept the original warranty/ instructional guide booklet. I'm proud to be the next caretaker.

Welcome and that is a great looking watch.
My Mum bought my Dad an Omega in 1957 in Manchester as a wedding prezzie, I blame the pair of them for my near 35 year obsession, it only gets more expensive from here on in.....Enjoy. Cheers
