B-day today - running out of time?
Hit two milestones today - my 1000th post and a birthday - surprising I made it.
 Even though I'm presently Rolex-less (I know, hard to believe  ) I figured the community would humor me. A couple shots of me wearing my first Rolex, a 5513 bought at the HK Post Exchange. Unfortunately, at the time I didn't know that I'd be on TRF posting watch pics, so I didn't take a pic of the Sub particularly - in the field I wrapped it in Army green tape, looked great.   Thought I'd better start doubling up as time is moving on!

Love vintage pictures nearly as much as I love vintage Rolexes! Thank you for sharing, best wishes for a happy birthday, and many thanks for your service (United States, judging by that Pontiac Catalina in the garage behind a Green Beret)!

Well for two milestones such as these I would think a new watch would certainly be in order.
Congrats! |

 I'm pretty sure I wore the 5513 here - don't seem to have it on in the pic.  A motley crew - wouldn't want to meet them in a dark alley.
