My name's Chris, aged 23 and i work as a Marine Engineer in the Merchant Navy. I'd had my eye on a Rolex for quite some time. I'd initially planned to get one as a reward for getting to the top of my career, however, i was walking through Newcastle and past Goldsmiths. Whenever i pass i'm alway drueling over the Rolexs in the window, this time one of the sales women came out and asked if i'd like to try anything on. I'd been looking at the Milgauss for quite some time so thought 'it wouldn't hurt' to try it on.

To cut a long story short I had the money and thought 'why not?', and was then the proud owner of a 2012 Rolex Milgauss!

Thanks for reading!

Here's a pic.

Chris
Welcome!
What maritime school did you graduate from?
