Me, I'm an operations supervisor which does not sound anything spectacular but in actual fact it is even less than that. Have been building my collection recently but am about to start thinning it out.

Hello:
I own a new 16700 GMT Master Pepsi, with jubilee bracelet, since 1.991. My wife gave me for wedding present a new 15200 Oyster Date in 1.996.White dial with roman black numbers. I am director of one IT department of a big Bank. But I think wear a Rolex is a matter of taste, not money. When I bought my first Rolex my job was customer engineer, repairing computers. |

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'm a 34 year old (almost 35) attorney. My only Rolex is the Sea Dweller 4000 (just got her yesterday in a trade for my SubC), but I will be adding a BLNR over the next few weeks.

I'm 36. I manage the IT department for a retail company by day. I also own a real estate investment company and we flip houses. I'm a hybrid of corporate guy and also can swing a hammer. I have a Rolex Sea Dweller currently. I'm hoping to add to my collection this year with more Rolex. I didn't have a Rolex for about 10 years and finally got the itch again after I was able to start collecting nice timepieces again. My B&R Horizon and JR Aeroscope aren't seeing any wrist time at all anymore.

I've wondered what some of you successful guys do to have the impressive collections you have!
My career path is not as glamorous as some of you guys, freshly turned 28, I own a shell station and dabble in real estate and stocks. I'll be picking up an 116610LN hopefully within the week. I hope to one day be as successful as some of the members here. |

I'm a sculptor. I work in granite primarily. Public monuments and the like.
I wear an Explorer ll Z, with a 3186. For general everyday (not cutting stone). While out about flanuering or other more special occasions I carry a Rolex pocket watch with a military dial. In my pocket tethered. I drive a 1959 Willys pickup daily. Been riding the same BMW airhead motorbike for 40 years. I don't collect anything, I only have items I can use and enjoy and depend on. Life is too short to drink cheap coffee, play crummy guitars, write with ball point pens, or brag about a custom fly rod that has never been fished. Silica is not your friend.

The explorer gets worn on nearly a daily basis. Every now and then I throw the whole thing in an ultra sonic cleaner. If it likes it or not.
For the most part I am on time. And that's the purpose of the machine. |
