I have been reading here for quite some time and thought I would say hello finally! My wife and I are Rolex owners who really enjoy the fine movements and the intricacy involved. I have learned so much already from TRF, and am looking forward to reading more.

Welcome, what model Rolex do you have?

Welcome aboard, rockclimber and wife.

Thanks for the kind welcome! I wear a Submariner Date as my daily watch and my wife wears a ladies Presidential 18K YG as her daily watch. Her birth stone is a diamond, so over the years we have added 302 diamonds to hers. 99% of people don't notice it on her, so it is really subtle surprisingly.
I don't like yellow gold or diamonds but I also have a YG Presidential that I never wear and intend to sell or trade. My favorite watch of all time is a Bond Sub, but it is out of my price range, so I am looking for a 5513 or non COSC certified sub (14060M) with a NATO band on it. My wife thinks its silly to have 2 subs, but I cant take advice from someone with a diamond encrusted dial. In any case, I hope to learn a lot more about vintage subs and finally make the move to replace the Presidential.

Welcome...how do you like your Sub Date for every day wear? I am shopping around for one at the moment

Hi Rockclimber, Welcome to TRF

Excellent taste in Rolex there my friend

I too had a YG DD which I wore for the first six months of ownership, then decided to pop it in the safe and sold a few years later after a service :-)

I think you should pop into the Vintage Section and have a chat with the guys and Gals there

Enjoy,

Dave.

Such a warm welcome, I am used to car camaraderie but I am surprised with the enormous amount associated with watches. What can I say, you all have great taste!

R1@160: The Sub Date is my favorite Rolex at this point in my life. I am a Bond fan, so it was the natural watch for me. I could wear one as a daily watch for the rest of my life and be content. I like the older models more than the newer ones, too much writing on the dial for me, but other than that it is the perfect watch.
