Hello all!
I’m new. I’ve recently gotten interested in Rolex. I’ve been wearing my beloved Marathon GSAR auto for quite a while, and it’s been a great watch. I’m more of a under the radar type, but keep finding myself drawn to Rolex professional watches. I visited an AD to register my interest in an Explorer II earlier this week, which was actually a surprisingly pleasant experience.
I’ve been lurking around this forum, learning as much as I can. Thanks to all you who invest your time and energy to share so much about the Rolex culture, technical info, market savvy, and just some really great stories. I understand an AD acquisition will be a long way off, but I’m patient. I don’t mind the wait, especially since I have so much more to learn. By the time the opportunity presents itself to make an AD purchase, I’ll be much more informed, thanks to you all. Cheers! -Tom |

Thank you! I don’t really have any expectations of a timeline, but when the AD told me “Be patient, you’ll get your watch.” , I was suddenly reminded of that line from the Dumb and Dumber movie: “So, you’re saying I have a chance?”
Anyway, I have a bunch of time to catch up on things. For example, I’ve already learned about the 32xx lottery, so that’s something to which I can relate. I have decades of experience with expensive machines that break or have issues. Land Rover, KTM, Ducati, BMW. |
