57, out to grass for three years now.

Sub, DJ, BLNR, Daytona, Tudor Blackshield, Garmin Finder, a few others dotted around somewhere in the house.

I keep misplacing them when I go on holiday, it's an age thing. Now why did I go upstairs?

1st time poster and 44 year old Airline Pilot based out of Houston. I've been drooling in every Rolex store of every city I travel too. Unfortunately, the expense of five kids has kept me from pulling the trigger. I currently wear a Steinhart Oceans 1. I keep sending pics of the Rolex Hulk to my wife but she keeps calling that a Captains watch and says I should be happy with my Steinhart for now.
It's been a good year so I might just have to get that Hulk soon and let my favorite "Yachtmaster II" be my Present to myself when I upgrade to Captain.

...Welcome.. and a great 1st post...!!
I like that Steinhart O1...a close 'homage' to the Sub. and probably a good daily wearer with a reliable ETA 2824-2 movement..(as used in some Tudors.).. so you can't go wrong with that.
Personally, I'd hold off on the Hulk - and go for the YM...for a well deserved 'reward' for making Captain...!!

I had to check out those Steinharts too. Very nice.
But shouldn't a pilot be wearing a GMT?

Active duty enlisted US Air Force. This is the only Rolex I own:



It's technically his now, but I'm just wearing it so it stays wound. He'll get it when he finishes college:

LOL, that outhouse has saved my life before! Gotta watch for snakes though! South Texas bares no shortage of those ones with the rattles...

And yes, I spent a lot of my time catching dogs but I spend most of my time instructing Military Working Dog students. My junior instructor is the one with the hat on and my students are the ones taking the picture.

I really do like my Steinhart. They make a nice watch.
Captain is still a few years away. I'm not sure if I can wait. Plus, my plan gets me 2 Rolex watches.

My Steinhart is a GMT. It's a function I don't use much. I typically just do the quick math in my head.
