New to the forum

Hello everyone. I’m new to the forum & just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Patrice and I live in San Francisco. I’m hoping to learn more about buying a pre-owned Rolex. My dream watch would be a yellow gold day date or mid-size day just.

Welcome! You’ll have fun finding a piece that sings to you. Lots of options on those watches and prices are still in earth orbit. Good lucks!

Welcome Patrice! Hope you find your dream watch soon! :) Just make sure you do your research and buy the Seller. Also in the WATCHOUT section, you can post pictures of Rolex watches and the experts there can help out with authenticity. Good luck and happy hunting.

Welcome to TRF!

And a hearty welcome to you, Patrice!
From another Northern Californian, . . . you'll meet a lot of very nice, and KIND folks here.
I've bought a few pieces so far, and I feel comfortable with all of them.
DO check out the For Sale, under Classified. You'll start to feel good about the names you see. Some are right there in SF (like Jacek, of HQ Milton - one of the authority on older, vintage, pieces), but take your time, learn a LOT, and enjoy the hunt and the process!
My wife LOVES this whole game, and tired of her smaller DateJust, and then got her mid-'90's YG DayDate, with a beautiful diamond champagne dial (original, of course - watch out for "custom" stuff...).
You'll find your grail! Best to you!
