Hi all,

Thought i'd drop a note in here. I'm 31, live in Scotland and still 'planning' my first Rolex purchase.

Currently own 1 watch; Montblac Star Chronograph GMT.

Been playing close attention to Rolex for about 4 years now, safe to say they haven't worn off on me. My dad has a GMT II Coke Bezel which he has owned and worn for about 25 years. The original receipt is an eye opener :)

Ideal Rolex would be a GMT II 116710LN however i have to play to my budget so it's probably going to be a 114060.

Look forward to reading up some more!

Welcome and a word of warning, once you start handling and wearing Rolexes other watches can become less appealing... :)
