Hello to all of you

Hello my name is John and I am from Australia.

My wife is really going to kill me now as I have found yet another forum!

I have been collecting Rolex for a few years now, and have a number in the collection.

I find being a member of a few forums give me quite a varied insight on "our" disease. All seem to fill a gap in their own special way.
I own quite a few different models, but my favorite right now is this one.

1972 Sea-Dweller.

Enjoy, and see you on the forum.


John.

Hello, John and welcome to TRF. Glad you found our merry madhouse. If you compare us to other fora, you'll find that we're the Fun Bunch. We try not to get too serious, even though we love our watches.

So stick around and join the fun here.

BTW, we have a whole contingent from down under, spread across the country.

Thank you all

Thank you all for your warm welcome and comments on my SD.

I bought it a little while ago from the original owner with B&P's. Cost me a small fortune but I wanted that specific dial and all the goodies.

The only thing I didn't get was the anchor. Does anyone know where I can get one from?

Thank you in advance.


John.
