Hi from Boise
Hello everyone.
Been lurking around TRF for a little while and just signed up last night. I've always been fascinated by Rolex watches. There are few pieces of jewelry a man can wear. One is a wedding ring and the other is a watch. In the last three years, I have become serious in my Rolex quest. I've tried them on. I've visited with different people about likes and dislikes. Everyone has told me to get the one that speaks to me. After having a few close calls at work, I have decided it is time to enjoy a great watch. I've narrowed the choice between the GMTII and the Sub. I like the cyclops, and I don't think the watch looks right without it. Boise is somewhat limited on Rolex dealers, and I am a little leery about buying over the internet. However, after spending a while on this forum, I have picked up a lot of good information. I feel a little safer about spending some hard-earned money from one of you guys. Any personal advice, comments, criticisms, etc are appreciated.

Thanks for the warm welcome.
My wife just laughs at me. She knows I've been looking at different Rolex watches for years. I have a similar obsession with Land Rovers................. Cheers! |

Welcome. I really like Idaho, too. You can't go wrong with a Sub. After you get your Sub, how about some pix with mtns in the background?
