Dream profession and a Rolex

[Sherpa23]

Reading this is interesting because I have some friends who have a couple of the exact dream jobs posted here.

I guess like a few others here I am lucky to say that I have my dream job. I guess it’s my second dream job because I was a professional athlete earlier in my life. But I get to develop great products for a select group of great clients (like Formula One - I’m in Abu Dhabi right now).

Dream watch: I was lucky enough to know what my dream cars and motorcycles were and bought them along the way. Not so much with a watch because I don’t think Rolex has made it yet. A Rolex Daytona has always been my go-to dream watch and I have two amazing Arabic dial versions that I wear. However, I wish Rolex would make them with the ceramic bezel. The only one they make with Arabic numerals and the ceramic bezel is the rose gold/chocolate dial one and while I like it a lot, I wish they made a lighter version like my panda dialed and white dialed versions.

I played in a band in high school and college, and back then I wanted to become a professional musician but ... just like what happened to most people... life got in the way and I had to abandon that dream.

As for Rolex, it's the one that I have now, Rolex Explorer 1. Really love this watch. My dream watch? Speedmaster Silver Snoopy.

Dream Job: Ferrari Dealership owner with a Rolex Boutique in the showroom

Rolex: all of them

(I think Steve Wynn has come close to this, he at least had both in the same building.)

I had the privilege of "working" my dream job as a professional cyclist for a number of years. I'll say it again; Someone paid me money to race a bicycle. I was going to do that anyway. No way on God's green Earth could I have afforded a Rolex though. Now I own veterinary hospitals. Not as dreamy, but it pays the bills.

I lived my dream job, Chief Information Officer, for several Fortune 50 companies and wore a YG DayDate most of that time.

I now am mostly retired enjoying outdoor activities around the world doing something we don’t talk about here and doing woodworking. My watches for the outdoor stuff include a BLNR or a plastic watch for dangerous terrain. Woodworking... no watch. Too much of a chance of it getting caught in a machine. Casual wear includes DayDate, DateJust, Patek, etc.

So, I guess I’ve lived two dream jobs wearing a lot of watches.

Difficult question. I love what I'm doing currently, even though it only pays 'enough' I don't want to jinx it because I enjoy it so much + It took me years to get. I also dream about more than one watch! I already have my favourite<! Life's good already but keep the ideas coming.
