Icon20 First post, greetings from the Netherlands
Hi everybody,

I am reading almost daily on the forum for a year now and really enjoy the very friendly and respectful way in how the members are approaching each other. So it's time to participate a little and become pledge member.
For more than 30 years working at sea in the merchant trade. Still love riding the waves and feel that the world is small.
I only came late, in my forties, in contact with Rolex and now own a 16622 yacht master, 12838 day date and a GMTIIc 116713. I am very happy with all of them and wear them regularly. My favourite is the Yacht master after I modified it being inspired by Jocke. Even changed the newer dial for the older more sparkling type and an Oysterclasp from a Date Just.
It gets the most wrist time, very comfortable case.
Wish you all the very best and happy reading on this nice forum.
Kind regards, jopie.
