Congrats and welcome to the forum!
My advice is to wear the watch as much as you can, and build memories with it |

It's already happening. Looking at some point at either a Sub or GMT. But reading here tells me that may be a little while. At this point I have no intention of buying from the greys.

Regarding editing posts, different forums handle this task differently. Here, (I believe) you have a limited time, maybe an hour after posting, to edit. We have some things in common; I’m an older guy, too, (I can no longer deny it, as I turn 60 this month!) I, too, always wanted a Rolex and just got one a few months ago. (Link to my Rolex journey in my signature below) Plus, I’m not financially in the position to spend a lot on watches. But for me, that’s not a problem. When I came to this site, I wanted one watch and one watch only...the Rolex Submariner. Though I never thought I’d actually own one, I knew that if I did get one somehow, I’d be a one watch guy. (Much to the chagrin of the other members here...they must be tired of me posting multiple pictures of the same watch, over and over...ha,ha!) You mentioned your reluctance to deal with grey dealers. I understand that; before coming here, I’d never even heard of grey dealers but as I researched and learned, my feelings about them has changed. Initially, I was only going to buy from an AD, mostly simply for my own protection, but eventually went with a trusted seller because I decided to get an older model instead of new. Post some pics and have fun searching the site, there’s a lot here! Best to you, Michael

First thing though is just to enjoy your watch. As for a second watch, you might want to consider a Tudor GMT. It is more available, affordable and I think is a very similar to the aluminum bezel Pepsi. I would have never considered one myself before but I’ve come around to Tudors. Just a thought. Get to 10 posts and show us your watch! |

Thanks for all the welcome and congrat posts. I have to admit I am finding this site rather addicting.
