Hello from another noob !

Noob from Hawaii here. Aloha!

I've only been "into" watches for about 2 years. Absorbing info like a sponge. I don't yet have a Rolex, but that will be my next purchase.

Originally I had hoped to get my first Rolex new from an AD (I actually enjoy the boutique/AD experience). Long story short, that's no longer in the cards after an educational chat with an AD regarding their supply. It had crossed my mind to buy used, but only recently did it occur to me to look around in an actual Rolex forum. I'm not in a rush, still perusing and learning.

Just a little about me. I'm basically a glorified handyman. I like scotch (favorite is Talisker). I'm about a year from my 10 year anniversary since quitting smoking (quit on 9/9/2009, easy date to remember, 999). Also an over the hill former musician in an on-and-off again old geezer rock band.
