Greetings German Rolex Forum!

[jholbrook]

Hi Everyone! :)

Some of you might recognize me from my Rolex Reference Page site. Hannes and several others have extended very courteous invitations for me to stop by here in the past...Unfortunately, I'm a typical "dumb American" who only reads/writes in English...but I finally figured out (with some help from Hannes and Percy) how to get logged in. :tongue:

In any event, here's a few photos of some of my favorite Rolex models I've had in my collection...enjoy!

Well, the car photo were taken in Florida, but I live in Ohio...the weather isn't nearly as nice in Ohio, but I go down to Florida every year to visit. :gut:

My lovely bride though is the icing on the cake. :) We've been married for a bit over a month.

Thanks! I didn't think I'd like diamonds on my wedding band, but my wife is in the jewelry business and got it for me, and I really like it now. :gut:

[Donluigi]

looks very debonaire and stylish. I prefer diamonds in your wedding band over diamonds in your Rolex ;) Btw. I'm in the same branch as your lovely wife. All the best to you guys.

And a handsome woman,...how lucky can a man get!!! ;)
Congratulations.

[Nicholas]

...that is a stellar collection you've got there. I am sure I have seen those pics at another popular (English language) Rolex forum... ;)

I particularly like your DJ. Of course, I am biased as I am also a TT DJ owner! :D

Cheers

Welcome to the forum John.

Actually,I have come to know your site months before I discovered this German Rolex community.
I´ve always loved your photographs of your watches ( I have many of them for desktop backgrounds) and the reviews on your site were very helpfull and sometimes pretty amusing lecture.

I think that maybe it is the fault of you taking these Sea-Dweller pics, that I myself bought this watch so quickly.
And I really love it.

I have a little request: maybe could you make a photo for a wallpaper of the Sea-Dweller in a darker lighting so that we can see some lume!!!!
That would be great!!

Thank you for sharing all your experiences you´ve gained while dealing with and collecting Rolex watches - especially for people who are new to the subject (like me) it is a very good thing to be able to hear the impressions of experienced enthusiasts.

I hope you continue your nice artwork and reports for many years to come and wish you much fun hanging around this forum from time to time.
I´m sure you´ll always have a place in this community.

Cheers,Oliver

Thanks so much, and I'm so pleased to hear my site was of use to you. :]

I haven't done any lume shots for a while, so I'll have to work on some. :gut:

I pleasantly surprised by the welcome here - I wasn't sure what sort of reception I'd receive, given I only speak English, but my thanks to EVERYONE who took the time to give me such a warm welcome here. :)

[[Dents]Milchschnitte]

Well John,

everytime I get the opportunity to write or speak a littel bit of English I´m really glad.
Communicating in different forums is a great way of practicing a foreign language or preserving one´s level in that language.
And as it happens that English is not my native language, from my point of view you´ll be always welcome to share your opinions on this forum.

Cheers,Oliver

Thanks! I've been to Cleveland a few times (I used to work for a company that is headquartered there). I went to a Browns game in the stadium not far from the location in your photo. :gut:

[Frohlex]

Great! I went to Jacob's Field in 2004 - I don't know the rules of the game ... it's enough to enjoy the vibrations in the stadium ...
