The deepsea that my lovely wife got me! I think it went well with my suit and everything else for that matter

Subexplorer · 26 April 2010, 10:48 PM

I married in 1973, and my old beloved 5513 was on my wrist.

I lost that great watch during an armed robbery I suffered in 1977, and replaced it with a 1978 vintage 5513 and a 1977 vintage 1680 both I still own.

Very cordially, Abel

This one, a college graduation gift......At the time, I just thought of it as just a "nice" watch, and, luckily, formal enough to wear to my wedding. I was anything but a WIS back then and wasn't very tuned into "ROLEX" like I am now, which was good, because, worrying about what watch to wear would have been one thing too many for me! LOL...

aleiberman · 26 April 2010, 10:53 PM

I was wearing a Citizens Ecodrive. The only watch I owned at the time.

My wedding present! PAM111

Subfiend · 26 April 2010, 11:57 PM

1st - Sub Date, which I bought with her engagement ring.
2nd - TT Blue Sub, because I got both her and the watch by being lucky.

Hmmm....you flipped her engagement ring for a Sub Date? I'm no psychic and I'm definitely no relationship expert, but, I can imagine why things didn't work out!

PA6-541 · 27 April 2010, 12:45 AM

I wore my Milgauss 6541. It was 7 months old at the time (1966). Both the watch and the marriage are working well. Someday I will figure out how to post pictures.

godsey · 27 April 2010, 12:47 AM

I was wearing my 1995 seadweller . which was 11 years old at that time.

tkc324 · 27 April 2010, 12:53 AM

Hasn't happen yet... but i am sure its going to be the SS Daytona...

Alan111 · 27 April 2010, 04:43 AM

Wore my TT DJ... which was a present from my wife.

Rolesor · 27 April 2010, 04:44 AM

I'm hoping to wear my dad's air king date! Will post pictures if I do - although it is a year from now, I hope to have my own by then as well!

Renoir · 27 April 2010, 09:11 AM

It was 16 years ago and I honestly don't remember

, but I'm almost sure I wasn't wearing one. I became a WIS about a year later when I purchased my first Rolex, a SS DJ.

Ahh but Dan, you were one of the lucky ones and married a really great woman..Some of us were not so lucky!
PS, hope all her health issues are now a thing of the past, I wish you both health and happiness.

We'll have to wait until October to find out, but I'm guessing it will be this one...

To match the Jubilee DJ I got her.

JJ Irani · 28 April 2010, 03:51 AM

My father-in-law had given me a gold OMEGA Geneve Automatic watch on strap. That's what I wore on my wedding day.

Sadly, it got stolen about 12 years later.

cujo · 28 April 2010, 03:58 AM

Jan 27, 1970 ....A GMT Master Pepsi.........oh ...how I wish I still had it.....not the ex-wife ...but the watch.

SLA · 28 April 2010, 04:02 AM

I'm not positive, but probably my Heuer Carrera automatic chrono like this one, it was the only nice watch I had at the time.

RRGHOST1 · 28 April 2010, 04:09 AM

1st wedding i wore a SS Sub/Date in 1977 later stolen from house in 1983. 2nd wedding i wore a TT Bronze dial "Rootbeer" GMT Master on a jubilee bracelet. Will never get to 3rd as i am still on my second.

theken · 26 May 2010, 11:05 PM

I no longer have the watch but I still have the wife.
I wore, with a dark suit in the judge's office, an Omega Speedmaster 18K/SS on a tan strap. It was my only "good" watch at the time.
I received the Speedmaster in trade for a Leica camera lens from someone in Italy.
I have acquired many watches since them but no more wives.

Huskerjss · 27 May 2010, 01:10 AM

Had to sell my SS Sub to help pay for it! How stupid am I?
