What have I done...
Hi All,
First time Rolex owner here, but I've been 'lurking' for a while. Thanks for all the advice as I was navigating the Vintage Watch waters. I've always been a watch guy, ever since my first swatch watch as a kid. But this was my first purchase past the $1k range. I ended up getting a birth year 16800 sub. Its all original, and has some decent creaminess to the tritium. I was looking for an open 6 & 9 date, from 85/86, and all original. I hope that my watch collection doesn't start growing from here, but looking at my shoe collection I could be in trouble soon. I actually sold some vintage Jordans to raise the cash flow for the watch. Just saying hi, Happy Friday   Cheers, Kellen |
