What Kind of Rolex Watch Style Defines You?
I’ve already said that you can call me Sporty. And, I am sporty. I don’t go for watches that are elegant; it’s just not my style. I appreciate them and love to look at them and love to collect them for the value that they represent and even buy them for Jonathan’s Watch Buyer, but I don’t wear them. I have these really big ham hands, and now … [Read more...]
