New guy from GA

Just my second post - the first one was the annual contribution to support this forum! Figured that it was only fair that I paid for my education.

My wife and I are approaching our 40th anniversary and I have finally reached the point that I can splurge a bit on some nice watches to celebrate that occasion. The closest thing I have to a nice watch is a 1963 Omega Constellation "pie pan" black dial that I've had for about 3 years. I've enjoyed it very much and have decided that it's now time to step up to a Rolex. Other than some general familiarity with the brand, and trying on a "base" Oyster Perpetual at the local AD (at least I've figured out what that means), I'm a real novice. So that's why I showed up here.

Both my wife and I are pretty "low key" folks and I'm looking for some watches that fit our (rather conservative) personalities. Probably a 34mm Air King or Oyster Perpetual for me, and similar for her. I'm keeping a lookout on the board for prospects, so if anyone who reads this message knows of something that might fit the bill, please let me know.

Regards,
Mike Gray

Thanks for the warm welcome! Already received a PM with a referral to a reputable jeweler if I decide to purchase new and I appreciate that very much.
