I work as a government analyst at an airport. I have a DJ41 and an Explorer II with a 97200 Submariner bracelet (minus the glidelock, unfortunately) - I hate the cheapo 16570 Explorer II bracelet.

I started my own business just before the pandemic. I wanted to buy Daytona so much that I even took out a loan to buy it (I lacked money). Fortunately, now the situation in the world is a little bit better and we can work again. I hope I'll buy my next Rolex without financial issues.

Goodluck with your new business! But i am wondering why you would take a loan for a watch? Especially after opening a new business?!?!

I sold two businesses and when I sold the second, I bought my 116520. In line with my local AD for a 116500, and willing to wait.
Nice to see you on here, Peter. :)

I’m a systems engineer for an aerospace company.

In the past I have owned a 1016, 16700, 16570, and a 126710BLNR.
Currently I own a 214270 (Mk2). I’m getting the itch for a 12 series LV.
It’s about time I try out a submariner.

I worked for a city that had a public safety department. Meaning fire and police were combined. So I was a full time cop and firefighter for 28 years. I got to take bad guys off the street and go into burning buildings. Retired as sgt . I got to live out my boy wish dream. I have a Rolex DD 18078 and a PP 5066. I get a lot of questions how does that work ? Our scout car carried our turnout fire gear. If there was a fire we had officers go get the pumper and the ladder trucks, the others officers responded to the location and change into our turn out gear.

I've worked in tech since the mid 1990s. I was an early adopter of the web, social media, etc.

I know a lot of general technology, but my speciality is building networks for movie and TV productions in remote locations.

Work dried up in 2020 when world travel shut down. Now I work for a commercial/investment bank (in tech, not a banker.) I also invest on the side, as a hobby.

I recently bought a Hulk for myself and a 16710 Coke for my dad. My first real watch.

I'm proud to be a high school teacher.

Please see my signature line for models owned. My wonderful wife gifted me my first two, SubDate for our 10 year wedding anniversary and BLNR after SHE received a well-deserved promotion. Did I mention already that I have a wonderful wife?! She said two's enough, so I had to buy the Explorer Rolesor myself !

I’m just a firefighter, nothing fancy here.

I’ve got an SD43 and a OP39 Blue and Green. I have a Ball Marvelight M for my work beater.

Can’t post pics yet due to post count unfortunately.

I don't know if I'm going crazy but I can't find the GMT hand on the Explorer 2!
