I am a 45 year old lawyer and judge. I currently have (and this is subject to change, as I am sure many can understand) an 118238 Day Date with gold Roman dial, a white 116520 Daytona, a 1973ish red Sub, a 1984 Rolex 6694, a mid 1980s stainless Datejust, and a Panerai 287 on the way.

I'm a 42 year old house builder in Vancouver BC area and I wear an Explorer ii. Its a great watch I love it. I also happen to have two other rolexes they are both air kings with Domino's Pizza logos on them. I won them while I was a Domio's Pizza franchisee. They are the reason I am a fan of rolex.

38 year old Private Military Contractor, currently working in the Middle East. Bought a ND Submariner in Dubai on my way out in 2011, but I will get me an Explorer (or maybe an Explorer II w/ black dial, haven't decided yet) when I go back home in February.

Here are a very small few of my Rolex collection. Sorry about the rotten picture. I am semi-retired and I cannot work this thing very well yet! I hope this works!

Recently bought a 16610 x-series.
21 years old and work as a cashier at an "electronic retail".
Am I stupid? People tend to say that I am, since I bought it with my low income.

Bought my first Rolex at age 24. It was a SS Datejust purchased new from an AD for $1,100. Then bought a new TT Datejust a year later for $2,300. Fast forward 20 years to my 3rd Rolex, an 18K yellow gold Datejust. Fast forward another 5 years to a SS Turnograph with jubilee Crownclasp bracelet and a couple of Omegas. Now in the market for a Submariner or GMT II ceramic. Eventually, I'd like a Patek Calatrava and a Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso. With that I'll be done. Maybe.

I want to pass down all these fine watches as gifts to my children and grandchildren before I breath my last.

Interesting thread.

First Rolex was a 14060M, which was sold for a DJII with black roman dial. Trying to get into vintages at the moment.

I'm 56, and have a stainless Sub without date, a TT blue faced Sub, and a GF Date that I wear to work every day. And a TT DJ for the wife. Thinking about the next one, Explorer I, Daytona, or a Pres.

Hi: I am 64 and a Criminal Court Judge. Got my first Rolex..a GMT in 1988. I currently own 4, all SS: Sub LV, GMT Ceramic, Milgauss GV and Sea Dweller Deepsea. Looking at adding a Bluesy. My Rolex's are a joy to own and constant source of pleasure..unlike any luxury item I have owned.
