Welcome to TRF!

I guess I cannot qualify, since I am a big flipper!

The "longest" time I have owned a Rolex are 3½ years.

colemanitis · 1 November 2007, 08:16 AM

I owned a GMT-Master for 6 months, a SD for 5 months, a few others that I flipped immediately, and my current Sub I've had for 2 months. I'd say you've got me beat.

You have me beat by a mile

I've been wearing Rolex since 1970, but they were stolen in '93 and I had to start all over again........

I applaud your daily wear....

waltk1026 · 1 November 2007, 09:43 AM

I bought my 5513sub in 1979 and wore it every day until nov 05 when I bought my new rolex.

Bought my 5512 in Sept. 1963. It's being serviced right now, but I generally wear it everyday.

I've had mine for almost a year so I'm doing better than some of these other guys.

'63!! Gerald you weren't kidding about being an Xteen.

I hope to get 35 years plus of good use out of mine and it's great to hear that you already have.
