Excited to be here

Looking forward to participating in this forum!

I'm a watch n00b, but I'm quickly learning. What a fascinating world!

I never really wore watches. I picked up a few 60s Seikos over the years, and my wife got me a nice looking quartz when we first got married. But I never wore them. I just didn't like the feeling of something on my wrist, I guess.

It wasn't until I bought a steel Apple Watch (feel free to pour on the hate; I deserve it) that I got used to strapping something to my arm every day. You could say the Apple Watch made me a traditional watch guy :).

I've always been a huge fan of the Rolex aesthetic, and after a trip to an AD to try some on, I can't imagine owning anything else. I've settled on a 16200 with the black dial, which seems to be the best looking dressed-down DJ. The search begins.

Excited to join your ranks when I pick one up!

Welcome, and you do not need to own a Rolex to belong here. You don't even need to own a watch, period. If you are interested in watches, that is all to the good.
