New here , just wanted to say "hi"

I just joined here today !
I am 69 years old and have always wanted a Rolex so I have started to look and thought this would be a great place to learn all the in and out's of buying a used Rolex . I will wear it some but my goal is to leave it to my now 11 year old grandson when I pass . Would love to have a GMT -Master ll but will have to settle for a Datejust for my first Rolex .

Post photos on watchout before purchasing, unless you are buying direct from ROLEX.
A GMTII (older piece) are not so hard to find at reasonable prices

Beware, 1FINE99! I joined in 2014 when, at the age of 66, I bought my first Rolex. I now have five. You are entering very dangerous waters.

I have been looking in the for sale section and I see a lot of very nice watches and very respected sellers .
I would assume all of the sellers here should be legit sellers . I have also been looking on some of what is suppose to be reliable selling places but I don't know if I can say who they are .

Very bad assumption! While there are plenty of well known, highly respected sellers with lots of feedback, there are also plenty of watches for sale from unknowns with little to no feedback. Do your homework and be very careful.

Oh and welcome to TRF!
