The owner went to the back room and came out with a 116519LN. Upon seeing it I realized that I preferred the 519LN to the 116500LN. Now I have a purchase history!



Next I am hoping to acquire a GMT BLRO.



Anyways, late 50’s and I transport aluminum tubing (airline pilot).


Awesome story! Congrats :)

i am 40 years old and currently a project director's secretary, June 23, 2016, i gifted my hubby rolex submariner. 3 years after, i purchase my gift a two toned 41mm jubilee datejust on the same date but different year. June 23, 2019.

I joined the "TRF" because i have purchased a gift to my hubby. Honestly speaking, 3 years of thinking and waiting patiently, i have decided to buy my own and now, i am currently saving for another rolex target, not sure which model but maybe it'll take another 3 or 4 years from now.

Love it. Healthcare, and my explorer 1 is almost never noticed. I love it. My 116610ln, however, is noticed constantly. I use it strictly on vacation now...

46 physician. Just got a gmt2 black dial. Got wife a Rolex in 2005 when I finished training. Think next one will be Daytona when I can spot one in the wild. The thrill of the hunt. If I ever see a Pepsi at retail I’ll get that too

49 and i'm the CMO of an electronics company, living in NJ.
I have a Platinum/SS Yachtmaster and just got the 116520 with my promotion. Love.

Just want a BLNR or BLRO (given how much I travel) and I think my collection will be complete. If i ever win the lottery it would be the BLRO with meteorite dial, that's got to be the coolest watch ever.

34, physical therapist, although I have many side projects / investments as well (unrelated to PT).

Currently just one - 126710BLRO. I think it’s the only Rolex I need although I really do like the two tone root beer as well.
