Welcome to TRF, Gerardo. Glad you've joined our fun group. I think you'll find TRF a great place to hang out. But be careful. It can become addictive.

When you get a chance, tell us a little about yourself and perhaps post some pictures of your watch(s).

Some more info...

Thank you all for the messages...as requested, some more 'info'. My Rolex craze started several years ago shen I bought my first, a brand new Datejust, Jubilee, White Roman. To this date, this watch represents a LOT; he has been with me during important events, my wedding, kid's birth, etc. After that, well, things started to get interesting. To make a long story short, the single Rolex went into Explorer II, TT Sub, Day Date (118238), two 1803's, Cartier's (Roadster, Santos and Pasha), Panerai (Luminor Marina), Omega (SeaMaster), Fortis Flieger, Swatch (Scuba....FUN!) and other timepieces.

My daily watch is the Sub, a 2 Tone with black dial I bought 7 years ago; it can stand anything and everything and looks great with both a wetsuit and a black Zegna with a red tie (and everything else in between).

This year I decided to 'take it easy' as we are expanding our business; but new goodies are already inmy 'wish' list. Leather/YG Daytona, YG Yachtmaster, GMT and ROlex Prince. (Not all of them, I will have to pick one).

Living in Cancun does help...duty free prices and the largest Rolex dealer south of the US (Second largest to Geneva!)...so much to buy, so limited credit! (Joke)

That's only because you don't know us well enough yet, Jon. Stick around, you'll see how evil and nasty we can get. And that's just a warm up.
