Hello Forum Members!

I am brand new to the community and I am not yet a Rolex owner. I'm excited to spend some time here and learn from the collective experience represented on the site.

I live outside of Boston, MA and work in higher education. I recently turned 40 and had planned to mark the occasion by purchasing a watch. However, I quickly learned that my budget was not in line with my taste (it started at a rational place and things escalated quickly!) I also had big gaps in knowledge, especially regarding availability/pricing of new watches. I've still never tried on or handled a Rolex.

I intend to learn more about the watches that interest me, visit a dealer and take the plunge before the end of this calendar year. Marking life events or business success with the purchase of a watch seems like a common practice for Rolex owners and has a this practice has a lot of appeal to me as I recommit to some goals of my own!

Best regards,

Brendan
