Greetings from Atlanta

I've been lurking for awhile and finally decided to say hello to everyone. I've been a Rolex owner for 15 years, through my father's kindness, in the form of his 1973 Rolex President. It's a beautiful watch but I don't get a chance to wear it much since I feel like more of a Submariner man myself and began looking through this board for advice and knowledge on all things Rolex, in particular the Submariner.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

Quick question. Does a 1973 fall under the Vintage or Modern Rolex categories? it seems to be borderline from what I've seen on the board.

Thanks.
