Hello Everyone!

I am a new member of the forum and thought I would introduce myself. Watch collecting is one of my passions and I have owned and now own a fairly decent variety of brands as well as watches with different functions. Although I don't have a Rolex right now, I hope to own a Datejust and Sea Dweller soon, maybe this year (I hope). I appreciate Rolex watches for their durability and overall quality. They certainly are a brand with a lot to be proud of. My hope is that the discussion here will make me not only more knowledgible about Rolex, but more appreciative as well. Thanks.

Hi and a very big welcome to TRF. Good luck with your Rolex purchase; but meanwhile please feel free to post away on this forum and also ask any questions that come to mind.

Cheers - JJ

Every once in a while I do a search for watch forums, just in case there are some I hadn't visited before. In this particular case, I had heard of and visited (lurked) on this forum a couple of times a while back, but never joined. Now that I am getting closer to getting a couple of Rolexes, I thought I might benefit from the expertise of the forum members, so I thought I would join up. I like discussing watches generally and love to learn more about my favorites. Thanks for welcoming me.

Welcome aboard, haakon!

Here's a couple of shots to help speed up your decision:

Welcome ( neighbour to the south)
There are a few members around here that no longer own, or do not own any Rolex's , but still post regularly.
A few pics of your watch family would be appreciated by many of us already here.
