Unfortunately I have to leave the forum

There Rolex community,

If you've followed my post in the last days you why I have to leave.

6 years ago, actually since always I have been fascinated with watches.

Then it happened 2 years ago after a salary raise I gifted myself with a Rolex 116610ln bought new at the biggest AD in Zürich Switzerland Bucherer.

Since then I did enjoy it a lot.

Okay let's shorten the story.

I became a fan of vintage peace especially the Tudor Big Block.

So here it comes I'm no longer a Rolex owner .

It has been really great here with you.

Cheers

Alex

Plenty of members are without/in between Rolex pieces. I would read here even if I knew I could never own one. Tudor is still a Rolex, but whatever you think. Good luck!

There will always be a seat at the Rolex table for Tudor owners. Unfortunately that seat is between the restrooms and service doors in the rear of our exclusive establishment.

I joined before owning any Rolex or Tudors. Have never seen anything requiring ownership to stick around.
