MRI Technologist. 41 years old. Own an Explorer II 216570 in black. My very first Rolex that I bought 2 months ago. Before that my wrist shared time with Seiko turtles, an Oris Diver Date, and a Tag Heuer Caliber 36. I love my Explorer!

I'm A Fishing Guide

Light Tackle and Fly Fishing Guide on the Chesapeake Bay USA. I "currently" own 4 Rolex. Pics Attached.

116264 Turn O Graph - I wear this when on the boats because of the 36mm size being less of a "bump magnet". Also because bezel rotates in both directions which I use to set the tide times on each trip. Love the Red Font, Red Second Hand and Red Date Wheel against the Blue Dial.

16710 GMT Master II Coke - Love the Coke GMT - I wear this when I want a "break" from an Oyster Bracelet because this ones on an original to the watch Jubilee Bracelet.

16623 Yachtmaster Champagne Dial - I wear this only on "dressy" occasions. Champagne Dial really says "GOLD" combined with the Gold Bezel and Gold in the Oyster Bracelet.

216570 Explorer II Black Dial - My "daily". Love the Orange contrast on the Black Dial and also love the 42mm size.

35, retired for 7 years now because of business exit. I dont have a Rolex, trying to decide which one to buy - i have used like last 3 days trying to figure out which one to buy. I am kind of new to watches, so basic knowledge was on low level, very low level actually. I really feel like home here in Rolexforum, nice feeling.

Options are:
Datejust with azzurro dial
Daytona Cosmograph Steel and ceramic bezel
Daytona Cosmograph Platinum and ceramic bezel (if i cant get steel with ceramic in reasonable time)

Retired at 35, now that's a beautiful thought, congratulations!

Out of your list, I would go for the Daytona with steel and ceramic bezel.

I don't have a Rolex either but as detailed in other threads, I want my first to be a Rolex Submariner Date and a brand new example (2017 or 2018) as it could be my one and only. I currently own a Tag Heuer McLaren Formula 1 and an Apple Watch Series 2.

I'm 32 years old and work as a Lead Software Tester for a business App. We're doing alright but I don't think I'm going to retire anytime soon! :)

Yes, mergers and acquisitions are lottery winnings sometimes - needs about the same amount of luck as well :)

I own and operate a small technical staffing firm in the Toronto area.
I have a Sub (168000), and a SS Datejust (1601). Though I don't wear either to work- prefer to fly a little more under the radar with a Speedy Pro or a Tudor Oyster Prince.
