So, my first Rolex....
First, thanks to Dr. Strong for all his help and advice. I felt a bit like a virgin in a brothel.... i knew what i had to do, but just wasnt sure where to start. Dr. Strong, thanks for the pointers!
The 6239 is sitting on my wrist now and i have to say i am enamoured with it. Looking forward to participating on the Rolex thread as well as PP and JLC now. SO much to learn.

What a start !!!
great looking early Cosmograph with a wide Daytona on the upper part of the dial and the original 300 mph bezel. The watch seems to be in great condition, congrats again ! Jeff
