New to the forum, and to Rolex!

Hey everyone!
I am new to the forums, and can't wait to learn more about Rolex's from you all.
I've always been a watch guy, however I steered clear of Rolex's since most I saw have diamonds and things of that nature which is to over the top for me. However, I've fallen on love with submariners! I can't wait to get one some day. I'm sure I'll find plenty more to dream about in my travels on this forum!

The watch I obtained is a 70's 6264 Daytona in 18k gold. Included is a photo. This watch has significantly changed my mind about Rolex! I love everything about it. A crappy cellphone picture below.

Oh wow that is a very sweet watch!!!!!!

Good luck with your hunting, it will take a very very nice Sub to equal the beauty of that 18k Daytona!!!!!

Amazon chitlin? I love it...how'd you come up with that?!

And great watch also. You should skip the sub and get a double Red Sea dweller.
