Hello :-)

Hi guys I'm a newbie from the UK and I have been lurking for a while and made the decision to join once I made my mind up on my Rolex choice. It's going to be a mk1 dssd from a friend who's just bought a d blue and I'm picking it up on Friday this week :-) , I am currently wearing s Tudor pelagos and it's going to remain my main user Monday to Thursday jumping around the London Underground and the dssd will be my weekender .I have worn a deepsea in the past and found it a little top heavy but iv also worn one on a rubber b strap and this really sealed the deal for the deepsea and I will be sporting this strap ,I think the bracelet on the Tudor works well for me as a user and the way it looks . I'm looking forward to posting a few pics soon and thanks for a great site it really did help me with my grail Rolex .

Hello :-)

Here's a couple of my two (early days :-)) I took my dssd 2010 into the London Rolex centre in pall mall yesterday for a service as it will give me peace of mind for a couple of years , the whole drop off thing really helped as it would have been a post option otherwise and didn't fancy that anyway the staff were great and made it all so easy .

So the pelagos will be my beater for 6 weeks but I must admit I like this watch so much .
