Slow your roll, my brother.

Bought my first one in 2003. Wore that 16760 for 10 years straight as my only nice watch. Strayed from the brand to Breitling for a bit but came back in 2014 with a 16610 and recently a DSSD.

I purchased my first Rolex, a Submariner 5513 in Frankfort Germany in 1966. Didn't buy another until December 2017 and bought a Submariner Hulk. It was so Beautiful I knew I couldn't make it a daily watch so two weeks later in January 2018 I bought a GMT Master II and have it on my wrist every day since. I love all three. Bob and Phillip Ridley of Watch Makers International restored my 5513 to like new. Fifty Two Years start to Finish.




It ain't easy bein Me !

It all depends on the finances. Once you get the watch bug, I think it’s safe to say all of us would get one every week or month if it were possible. I see videos of world class collectors with dozens and dozens of watches and they still have the itch.

For your specific question...

First - BLNR 2014
Second - SubC 2015

But that changes if you include all the other watches purchased for me and my wife...
