30 Years old. My first (and currently only) Rolex was a black dialed 16613 TT Sub. I'll be adding another Rolex to the stable in the next month or two. I'm torn between a GMT IIc, an Explorer II and a DSSD. I work for the US Government in law enforcement (GS 1811) although my background is in Chemical Engineering, hence my forum name. I worked for a few years as an engineer before deciding that working as an engineer was nothing like what I did in school (which I loved) and simply didn't hold my interests. I'm grateful to be in a position doing something that I love, still using some of my engineering skills and getting paid a better salary than I would be making if I stayed as an engineer without going into management, but with better job security and way better benefits. I look back in time fairly regularly and wonder how I ended up where I did, doing what I do and am thankful for the ride that it took getting here.

I actually had a friend with a Sintra. Sweet looking - just not my taste. I'm originally from Puerto Rico and owning a Rado there is the stuff of legends!!

I am a CTO within a tech company that builds (Social)CRM software.

Current collection:

Rolex submariner 1680 '77
Rolex GMT Master 1675 '78
Rolex submariner 16610LV 2010
Rolex Seadweller 16600 2007

In the picture below you can see a Sub 168000 which is now replaced by the 1680.


Currently very happy with the collection! Perhaps next year I will be looking at a red sub.

Hey everyone, absolutely impressive thread.

My name is written on the left, I'm 37 and I own a black dial SS Air King P serial.

I am a creative director, graphic designer, photographer (www.davidrault.com), typography teacher and author (http://tinyurl.com/36gwtnt, the 2nd one will come shortly and will be in english as well), and I also present many movie festivals since 11 years. I actually chose the watch I'm wearing now after spotting exactly the same on Daniel Day Lewis' arm while conducting his press conference in Marrakesh 5 years ago.
