Southern California Members?

I'm new to the forum and I'm looking to meet other members from SoCal (Orange and LA County). I'm pursuing my first Rolex (Submariner) and would appreciate hearing feedback from locals and if possible advice on where to find a nice pre-owned one.

Best,
Adam

Welcome to the Forum, Adam!

We are planning on having a GTG in Beverly Hills and are waiting for Marrk to get back to me. It should be soon.

Looking forward to it.
I attended the TRF Beverly Hills meetup about 3 years ago and it was a great experience for a newbie.

Is anybody here attending next weeks oc_chrono meet? I recently reached out to one of the co-founders and seems like a fun event.

Awesome! Didn’t know about the Hing Wa Lee one, probably because I’m not a customer there, but I heard the owner is one hardcore Ferrari collector

Patrick (OCRolexGuy) has some subs on his site. He’s a great guy to work with. Call him up and I’m sure he would be more than willing to show you some pieces.
