Hello everyone, I am new to the forum, but I have owned a Rolex since 1991. I sold a completely restored 1959 Corvette that year. I wanted to purchase something with some of that money that I could keep. I purchased a Rolex Submariner that year and have owned it ever since. In the first years of ownership I was still working and did not wear the watch much at all. Since I retired in 2000 I have worn the watch everyday and rarely remove it. It has been a very accurate timepiece and has held up to Rolex reputation of fine timepieces.
