My Story

Greetings from Ohio. So they say every Rolex has a story, I assume the same for owners as well.

At 43, I’ve been able to purchase my first. It’s no beauty queen. 1971 Ref.1601 with a strap. But it’s mine. I’ve always wanted to be part of the Rolex family. I have a great respect for the brand.
