This...

Now sadly gone thanks to RSC damaging it whilst trying - and serially failing - to regulate the timing earlier this year. Thankfully I had it through a good AD who refunded the purchase price.
The good news is that I think the experience has finally cured my lifelong addiction to Rolex which is probably a good thing :)
On the other hand it has opened up a whole new World of addictions...

In the end it missed my 50th birthday by a few months but the wait was worth it.

A vintage Daytona Big Red would be it.

Excellent Choice with the Cellini Dress Watch

I am 39 and have a YM2 gold 116688, YM1 platinum 16622 and Submariner 50th anniversary 16610LV.

My next purchase will be a Milgauss w/ black dial, after that it will be the new Sky-Dweller stainless with blue dial

My last will be either your Cellini rose gold or the same one with the moon phase.

My wife got me a Rolex Storage box for 6 Rolexes and by the time I am fifty I plan to fill it, I am half way now.

I also am plaining on getting my daughter a Rolex Precision 6694 Mickey Mouse.

All the best to you and I wish you the very best for your new addition watch for your 50th

50 is a long way down the road for me. I'm sure my tastes will change a lot between now and then

Hopefully gold watches will still be in style in 2040

Beautiful! That could be the perfect 50th for me. I got 15 years to drop subtle hints to my wife. Maybe you can text her some pics?!?

Platona I think. Or maybe a PP. Still up in the air, but I’ve got 14 months to decide.

I still have a long way to go (21 years) but I would like a WG Sub or a PP 5711 to pair with my ym or a nd sub and have the perfect 2 watch setup.

You younger guys are lucky to be in this position. At age 50 I felt lucky to have a modest Tissot PR 100. It was years later that I finally got a Tudor Black Bay followed immediately by a Rolex DJ and Grand Seiko. Congratulations on having great watches at a young age.

Have 22 birthdays to go.

I hope that when I turn 50, I can buy one of these (or the current iteration in 2039):

I've got 18 years to figure it out, but the 15202OR is top contender!
