Introduction of new member

Well hello,
My name is Glenn and I'm from the Netherlands
I must say I'm on the forums since I got interested in Rolex and was thinking about buying one.

What a great place this is for gathering information
All of your post and stories convinced me to actually take the big step an so I went to the dealer in Amsterdam (schaap Citroen)

I'm really into diving watches because I was a marine and frogman
Nowadays I'm a firefighter and rescue diver

So I tried the sub date/ deep sea and the sea dweller.

Must say I love them all and want them all but can afford only one.
So I choose the sub,
Then she told me there was a waiting list for about 6 months ,,, ahhhh bummer!
I got on the list and killed the time by scrolling the internet all days for Rolex and got more and more interested.

Then I saw that 1 article about the seadweller and maybe an anniversary is coming ;)

So I went back to the dealer and she told me that they want to keep a new waiting list very clean and can't get me on,,
You can get on the list by the time it gets announced in Basel.

So i went home and keep refreshing my browser the day of Basel and there it was !! Stunning all that i wanted put into 1 watch!!
I called the dealer and they even had seen the new watch they put me on the list and I got in 1st they told me.

Couple of weeks later I went to the store to make sure I was on the list since I'm no costumer who previously bought something there.

I was thinking maybe I need to make a deposit but they rested me assure and a couple of weeks later they called me it was in.

I must say I'm in love with my watch and the dealer.
What an amazing store and thank god for honest people.

And thank you all for your great story's.
