Briannourse · 14 October 2017, 06:26 AM

Has to be the daydate 118238. 36mm. Yellow gold diamond dial. In my dreams or lottery win.

JerseyGMT · 14 October 2017, 06:37 AM

The same watch I had on my 30th, 40th and 60th birthdays! :) My GMT Master 16750 which is currently being serviced in NY.

saskmh · 14 October 2017, 06:46 AM

Damn that's a nice Cellini. I like your selection of precious metals. I'm aiming for this one.

PLNYC · 14 October 2017, 06:54 AM

I'd like a platinum Daytona or RG DD buts that's in 27 years haha

droptopman · 14 October 2017, 06:57 AM

I bought a 50 year old gilt Submariner that was built during my birth year. Took me forever to find it as there are not that many good examples out there for sale.

Both those are pretty awesome pieces

ZOOK · 14 October 2017, 07:08 AM

It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure I was sporting a Timex with Indaglo.

Colin10101 · 14 October 2017, 07:10 AM

Hmmm.... Another 23 birthdays from now...

Absolute ideal? Safe queen, NOS 16613 from 1990 (birthyear) LB :)

FTX I · 14 October 2017, 07:11 AM

I'll be there in two years but I'm not planning to have anything different than what I already own.

TheRolexKingofLV · 14 October 2017, 07:13 AM

I bought my Platona for my 50th.

And my wife accuses me of holding on to my socks and underwear too long.

I've been on this hobby for too long and I'm glad that I know what I like.

oldman2005 · 14 October 2017, 07:32 AM

50th Anv Sea Dweller aka SD43

landroverking · 14 October 2017, 07:34 AM

On my 50th I was rotating a Daytona, 18kt Bluesy and a 1675 Pepsi.

This will be 50th celebration watch for me.

Unless something prettier is available then.

Toony · 14 October 2017, 07:37 AM

I got 7+ years to get there. Maybe by then I could get a 116500 at msrp....LOL
The Yachtmaster is very much on my current radar. My wife wants me to get it.

brandrea · 14 October 2017, 07:39 AM

I bought the SD43. I was so pumped when it was announced.

The original was born in 1967, same as me. I thought it the perfect way to celebrate

I bought a 51 year old gilt GMT Master that was built during my birth year. There are not many good examples out there for sale.

Retired · 14 October 2017, 08:29 AM

on my 50th an original "coke" my wife had bought me 5 years earlier I still wear it from time to time and I am past 75 but still more active than many much younger

nick c · 14 October 2017, 08:49 AM

I have 6 years to go

daniel boone · 14 October 2017, 08:52 AM

My beautiful two tone datejust with tapestry face. I decided to wear it for 'good' only, so I had it serviced by Rolex. I still love it. I am looking at the Red 126600, and hope to find or order one. Sooooo excited!

watchwatcher · 14 October 2017, 08:56 AM

I can't remember that far back.

GolfJunkie · 14 October 2017, 09:08 AM

Still have 19 years till I get there but it will probably be a YG DD

Lordofrolex · 14 October 2017, 09:23 AM

5980r boom!

Gharddog03 · 14 October 2017, 09:26 AM

Retirement at 50 will be a DD...

Wow, look at those puffy lume plots. Beautiful condition!

Baco Noir · 14 October 2017, 09:38 AM

All black of course!

thejerseyrock · 14 October 2017, 09:39 AM

Will let you know next year!

Maiden · 14 October 2017, 09:51 AM

I was very fortunate to be able to obtain my grail for my 50th. The watch actually became available about 6 months before my 50th and thanks to my wife, I did get it a little early. I got a mint 18238 with a recent Rolex service. Zero stretch, absolutely mint!
