New guy from Aus

Hi there, thought I’d introduce myself real quick.

I am a recent watch enthusiast, with a few auto Seikos mostly sarb and sarx series, Orient Stars, Citizens etc. All these are fantastic watches and are excellent value for money, keepers for sure.

I’ve also been lusting after Rolex and Grand Seiko since I got into watches but I decided on Rolex, something about them made it just right, so I bought my first one just last month at the start of the year from a local AD in Sydney who had just got in exactly what I was after and let me tell you it is amazing and has kept my watch lust at bay, mostly of course.

Looking forward to more of this

Thanks

Welcome to the forums! Due warning, this place enables lusting, wanting, pining, etc. pretty well!

Thanks a lot gents for the warm welcome.

And the Rolex that started it all for me is a new DJ41 in steel with that stunning blue dial, such a stealthy and discreet piece yet so elegant and refined, not to mention comfortable and extremely accurate
