    Welcome!

    If you're here, it means you're a sucker for a pretty face set to 10:10, that you probably know more about mainsprings and ebauches than anyone has any business knowing, and that you can actually say manufacture d'horlogerie without sounding like you're ordering at a French restaurant. For us, Real Madrid vs Barcelona pales in comparison to Rolex vs Omega, and Duke/Carolina has nothing on quartz/mechanical.

    So take a seat, get comfortable, and prepare to share your sickne...um, interest with other like minded idio...um, individuals.

    Looks like I am the first (non-mod) to get out on the proverbial dance floor on this subforum. Rolex has been a favorite for me for more than three decades. My 116233 is on my wrist most of the time. And I'm always looking at the next "score" (will it be a 116234 companion ... or a day-date ... or something else?).

    As for IWL, as Lao Tzu instructs us, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

    Hey people I've become a bit of a Rolex fan over the last couple of years. I have a very small collection but I'm really pleased with it.
