Hello from Birmingham, England.
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum having finally joined after a few weeks of reading. I bought my first Rolex on the 4th of November this year. Every time I used to go shopping I would look in the window of the local AD, and always promised myself "one day"! But for Christmas I was given a relatively huge amount of money from my Nan, and I immediately knew what I was going to get. I went to Watches of Switzerland and came out with a pre-owned blue dial SS Datejust. I am delighted with it. Then earlier this month I went a bit crazy and bought a pre-owned SS Sub 16610 on my credit card. It may take a while to pay off but it will last a long time. One day I would like to buy a brand new one, but for now they out of my reach. I can remember a time not so long ago when I thought my Armani watch was amazing. Needless to say that has now gone! Anyway, I am very grateful for the wealth of knowledge I have gained from these forums and hope to continue that into the future. Cheers, Mark. (PS Pics)
