I haven't decided yet.
Fortunately I've got a few more years. ;)

My 50th was over 24 years ago. I think I was wearing a Seiko solar powered watch or a Casio memory bank watch at the time (this was after a few trips to Hong Kong).

Feel sorry for all you guys as you only just missed out on THE best year....1968
I have every intention of my 50th present being the SD43. Actually I will concede it’s the best choice for you 67 guys with the watch anniversary as well. |

Ah, yes the "Segala watch" :) (French people will know what I am referring to, I can explain otherwise).
I'm 1 year early, but recently got myself my first Rolex (an 114060) for my upcoming birthday. |

This...
 Now sadly gone thanks to RSC damaging it whilst trying - and serially failing - to regulate the timing earlier this year. Thankfully I had it through a good AD who refunded the purchase price. The good news is that I think the experience has finally cured my lifelong addiction to Rolex which is probably a good thing :) On the other hand it has opened up a whole new World of addictions...

In the end it missed my 50th birthday by a few months but the wait was worth it.

I am 39 and have a YM2 gold 116688, YM1 platinum 16622 and Submariner 50th anniversary 16610LV. My next purchase will be a Milgauss w/ black dial, after that it will be the new Sky-Dweller stainless with blue dial My last will be either your Cellini rose gold or the same one with the moon phase. My wife got me a Rolex Storage box for 6 Rolexes and by the time I am fifty I plan to fill it, I am half way now. I also am plaining on getting my daughter a Rolex Precision 6694 Mickey Mouse. All the best to you and I wish you the very best for your new addition watch for your 50th |

50 is a long way down the road for me. I'm sure my tastes will change a lot between now and then
Hopefully gold watches will still be in style in 2040 |
