Ed,
If there was a retirement thread I missed it, anyway belated congratulations!! I'm sure it was long over due for you to enjoy some time off. I have 3 family members who are lawyers and they work 10 -12 hour days, sometimes longer. Can't imagine a DC lawyer's life is any different, probably worse!!

Here's to you!

One of my current pieces probably. Likely my PP 5711.

The Joker · 15 March 2014, 12:33 AM

Simple DJ will do me.

McFly · 15 March 2014, 02:04 AM

but I am enjoying this one now....

00pumpkin · 15 March 2014, 05:36 AM

I probably have 30+ years ahead of me still so who knows what will be available.

Right now I would have to say a DD II or RG Daytona.

ltmgeller · 15 March 2014, 06:27 AM

I was forced to retire in November so I bought myself this 16758. Just got it back from RSCNY yesterday.

RolexDivers · 15 March 2014, 06:35 AM

my very first sub = my very first rolex which I bought in 1998 ... all other Rolexes that came after, are expendable ... except for my very first sub...

I intended to retire in 2009 but the downturn in the economy was a concern so I bought this as a reward for working another year while I adjusted my assets.

A year later, when I retired, I rewarded myself with this one and I'm still happy with my choices.

RUK · 15 March 2014, 08:33 AM

It probably get a Patek 5205 when Im 50 and retire :)

sea-dweller · 16 March 2014, 12:11 PM

GMT 1675 or Newman Daytona

Mr. Greene · 16 March 2014, 04:59 PM

I have 8 years 4 months and 13 days but who's counting to figure out something. But leaning toward a two tone date just

gmh1013 · 17 March 2014, 08:21 AM

I retired about 8 years ago ....I bought a Pepsi GMT 2 so when I travel between Phoenix and Houston I don't have to set my watch every time.
In reading some of the post I guess that I got real lucky to retire at 49.
When I was in my 30's I never bought new cars....took expensive vacations....or lived in an expensive house......although I flipped some pricey condo's in North Scottsdale.
The only "expensive" items I bought were 2nd hand Rolex's.....you have to draw the line somewhere on how much you can sacrifice.

Retirement? Not with the way my wife spends...seriously, still a ways away for me. But would probably treat myself to something special.

I'd like to have something from high end luxury: Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Rock · 18 March 2014, 08:19 PM

The right watch depends what you do in your retirement I guess.
If you travel a lot then maybe a GMT.
If you go out a lot in the evening then maybe something dressy like a TT DJ.
If you spend a lot of time with friends and around town then maybe a Daytona.
The one I wear most in my retirement is my 14060
(although I wouldn't mind an IWC Spitfire)

BB345 · 19 March 2014, 04:22 AM

Probably a Day-Date. Not going to work every day I'll keep forgetting which day of the week it is!

McFly · 26 March 2014, 02:31 AM

I'm thinking about this too...

McFly · 29 March 2014, 01:37 PM

forget The Omega De Ville Prestige Small Seconds and PAM00048 40mm

SUBversive · 29 March 2014, 03:55 PM
