My first Rolex

Recently joined the Rolex club and was able to find a used Rolex Presidential.

It's a 1991 model 118238 with a Diamond Dial

I've always loved the Rolex Presidential. I was finally able to find one that I could afford. Now if I could Find a way to afford a YG Yachtmaster II...

I still love the watch, but it has been nothing but trouble and a money pit. I've taken the watch back to the place I bought it several times because I've had issues with it stopping and losing time despite the fact that I wear it everyday and I put it in the watch winder every night. Fortunately, I have a free lifetime warranty with that place.

However, it stopped again on me a week ago and took it to a place in Dallas. Swisswatchrepairs.com is their website. I got the watch back Thursday and so far, it appears to be good. They ended up replacing the mainspring, case tube, and polished it properly because whoever previously worked on it, buffed it too much and it wasn't properly polished.

I'm enjoying the watch way more since its been fixed. No issues since I got it back. It was worth spending the money.
