hi from london

hello all, just discovered this site and as a watch lover(my wife calls it watch porn ) thought id join in.
at current i own a 1953 rolex datejust which i believe is american in origin due to the slightly thinner jubilee bracelet(?) it has an alternate red and black date and an unusual bezel(spaced polished and grooved) it was an engagement present and i would love to know any useless bits of info on it!

i am looking to get another watch soon- im going to florida for christmas and have heard new watches are cheaper then in england...

i'm considering a panerai 112 although i have always wanted a reverso.... any ideas from you guys? i love them both but unfortunately dont have a big enough budget(ive got about $4500)

thanks for any help
