Rolex

Hi, I'm new here. Joined PuristSPro because an acquaintance of mine, a well known collector from my country (I'm from Singapore BTW ) is in it, and I thought I should join him in this forum as well (I'm in SG-ROC and WUS too). Hope to learn more from you ...  

Firstly, welcome here. It is always great to see new collectors joining the forum. And, for the record, absolutely no need to apologize for that collection. What a fantastic set of watches to have accumulated before completing A levels. Quite incredible. ... 

Thanks mate! All the best to your son's A Levels! :)

I'm taking the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Advanced Level Paper, subjects are H2 Economics, H2 Geography, H2 Literature in English, H1 General Paper, H1 Project Work and H1 Chinese :)

......good luck with all those. Once your exams are over, maybe get some time to take some wrist shots of that Rolex and also let us know what motivates you on the Oysterdate

It'd be my pleasure to do so :)

Take your time, enjoy the necessary homewirk before owning a watch, save some money, and you will see that this pleasure of ours is a bit... Crazy. ,) All the best. Nicolas

Haha thanks Nicolas!

... way to begin a Rolex colection! Enjoy this Forum, your watches and enjoy your youth! Very cordially, Abel.

... Will enjoy my timepiece and my youth to the fullest!

Great Rolex sub you have there. Congrats! Here's my blue sub saying hi. I am from Singapore as well and also started collecting watches quite recently. All the best for your A Levels and hope you will get your next watch post that! Cheers Robin

Your no date sub actually looks really neat! ...  

Thanks mate! Are you from SG-ROC too? And what a coincidence, we share the same name too :)

Great watches; l ooks very promising What's making you choose Rolex over other "manufactures"? Best of luck for your A levels...i know it's hard but a good grade is totally worth it!

Thanks mate! Initially I was hooked by the Omega SMP, then the base Pam, then the IWC Mark, but eventually he provenance and the design of th Submariner won me over :)

Welcome aboard, young man. You have a beautiful Rolex watch. It is good to see a young gentleman like you, indulging in a brand-name full of positive attributes. You will not go wrong, especially with advice and guidance from this warm and friendly forum.... 

Thanks mate! Haha yeah there are many collectors in Singapore too, hence further "poisoning" me in the process!

Apart from Hong Kong and Japan, I think Singapore sells the greatest number of Rolex watches in Asia. You are lucky to be in Singapore, as a Rolex lover, new of vintage.

Well, I wish I had started when I was a teenager (oooooh, the good old 70's) but partying and "other things" were my focus and watches were not even on the horizon. You will find a lot of info here and some of the fantastic pictures posted and great revie... 

Thanks for your tips! Will certainly try to learn as much from the forumers here :)

in this part of the world, a school going student usually don't wear a good mechanical watch, let alone a few which you have so you're off to a good start. Most haven't hopped on to this hobby for the lack of cash mainly, I wonder if you ever wear your ro... 

Hmm, I don't usually wear my Rolex to school. My daily beater is a Hamilton Khaki Field and a Seiko FiftyFiveFathom. Rotating amongst these two, or my vintage Seamaster. For its authenticity, nobody has questioned it yet. HAHAHAHA!

And woo, did you customised your watch hands to green accented ones?
