New Member Hunting The First Vintage Rolex

Hello All

I just made a rookie mistake of posting in the discussion forum and I included a link which then wouldn't post because of my lack of 10 previous posts. This I can understand but I lost everything I typed! Anyway I'm back to basics...

My name is Steve and I'm a Scotsman living in Adelaide, Australia. I own a 2011 DSSD and have always craved a birth year version of my favourite watch. I hunt the internet and forums daily looking for that elusive 1979 Pepsi GMT. I have found a watch I'm interested in via my daily chrono24 email. I now have questions for the geeks about originality.

Wish me luck.

Steve

My questions are now here:

I hope to get some input so I can secure the watch if it's all good.

You're correct. I think I was looking at the Tapatalk thing. (Been reading this forum for hours tonight, I gotta get a life! Lol)

Again, welcome and have fun.

Looks like you win that one!

Thanks for the welcome guys! You seem a lot friendlier than the arrogant person that has PM'd me! He tried to offer me a younger version of the watch I wanted having decided I was a fool to want a birth year watch. I politely pointed out that he was missing the point but was told to get over my ego. What a strange man and seemingly very well established on the forum!

Cheers

Steve
