Have a good day!


I'm in retail management at the store level. I've been working for the same company since I was 16 (I'm 27 now). It started as a part time job while in high school and I ended up sticking with it and advancing up the ladder.

When it comes to being able to afford nice things it isn't all about how much money you make but how smart you are with the money you do make.

I retired from the government. Trust me, most won't notice what you wear and if they do you can say it was a gift. Life is short; enjoy it while you can.

Rolex BLNR & JLC Master Compressor Memovox are my only two watches. I am thinking about a white dial ceramic Daytona in a couple years. Another part of me wants to sell the JLC for a SubC but the look is too similar to the BLNR.

I appraise construction equipment, but I'm hoping to transition into real estate investing (working on my first home flip now).

I own two submariners a 16800 date and a brand new no date ceramic sub. Operations lead at a major refinery. Not my degree of study! lol

I am a 35 year old doctor (and worked in the NHS for the past 12 years). I also used to make educational videos alongside being a doc. One of the world's largest advertising companies saw my work last year and offered me a job as their medical advisor. I accepted it earlier this year. To mark the change of career and new life I recently bought a Rolex Milgauss because it's a bit quirky but still a 'safe' best in case I ever sell it. It's my first big (new) watch. I also own a 1960s Rolex Oyster Perpetual, but the Milgauss is my special watch.

That sounds cool!
So what do you do at your new position?

I'm a 34 year old American expat/entrepreneur residing in Taipei. I'm currently working as an engineering consultant (mechanical and manufacturing) for companies who need technical help with Asian manufacturing/design. At the moment I have the 14060M Sub no date shown below. I'm still shopping for the right 16570 or 216570 Explorer II in white.

I'm working as a IT Consultant and 47 yo. When I got a new job 2 years ago, I rewarded myself with a Sea-Dweller 4000 116600. But sometimes I'll "borrow" my Dad's 36mm Explorer 14270 ;)
