My Seiko leaked when I went swimming and the jeweler educated me about the Oyster case.

No particular reason other than I wanted one, I found the look of it nice and it was one of the cheapest two-tone mechanical watches I had found.

gwozhog · 20 August 2013, 09:42 AM

I saved so much money with Obamacare I bought one to celebrate.

Gagebuilder · 20 August 2013, 09:43 AM

Um, which one?

swils8610 · 20 August 2013, 09:50 AM

Always wanted one. It's a lifetime purchase.

I bought my sub to celebrate my two year degree and just because I wanted it so bad. I bought my dj to celebrate my four year degree and entrance into grad school (although I never finished grad school).

rodrob59 · 20 August 2013, 11:22 AM

I had wanted a Rolex for over 25 years. Timing was finally right.

james1787 · 20 August 2013, 11:35 AM

I always wanted one someday. When I bought mine I was in a job that paid very nice bonuses, I was young, single, and no debt. I had a particularly busy year with work and got a nice bonus out of it. It was an easy decision.

cop414 · 20 August 2013, 11:39 AM

Celebrating making it through pretty much alive after 26 years on the force...

Rameez-Q · 20 August 2013, 11:41 AM

You are quite welcome Sir, it was an honor.

rolepam312 · 20 August 2013, 11:45 AM

I fell for their advertisement .. " crown for every achievement " in this case, an academic achievement..( professional school)... Moved on to other brands but Rolex will always have a special place

ronmiller65 · 20 August 2013, 11:47 AM

I purchased a sub to celebrate my divorce and moving forward after 18 years of marriage. Every time I look at my wrist I smile and say to myself, "Damn it was worth it."

AK797 · 20 August 2013, 12:03 PM

I was originally after the new PO but when I tried on the subc I knew that was the one for me, even tho it cost a lot more.
