For now, I only have 1 Rolex that I purchased with my first substantial bonus check a month before 09/11. It's a simple rolex date with a pink dial!!

I'm George Costanza, I'm unemployed and I live with my parents.
I've been sizing down my collection... Keeping a Sub 5513 (1972), a GMT 1675 (1977), and Expy II (2004).

The watch prepares you to do battle with the client!

I forget what watch I wore while repping for John Hancock, Twenty+ years ago. No, it was one of two of my great grandfather's 1940-1950 Bulovas! I yet have them in my jewel box. (Pictures, someday!)

I like that, and also that you're obviously a Blitzburgh Steelers fan.

Have you heard of Medrad? (Medical implantables)

Sell, sell, sell!

Later on.

Thanks. Love my Steelers. Selling can be the best job in the world or the worst. I have worked my way up to devices. What does Medrad make?

CT injectors, MR injectors, MR coils...http://www.medrad.com/products/index.html : )

I simply attend to their locking devices and to their clean-room doors.

I was with uncle John for 7 of my 9 years in the insurance industry. I repped mutual funds, variable products, life, accident, health, LTC and heartburn ; )

No more cold calls! Now, people call me.

33 and was a Funeral Director for 10 years until a corporation bought it out. I didn't want to move so I am working at a factory to pay bills and still embalm part time. My only Rolex is the 1977 burlwood day date president. I know it is vintage but it is in absolute mint condition and I love it.

Okay, so here's my story....I just turned 35 and I work in the field of law. My love affair with Rolex watches started early on in my life, probably as a young teenager, but I just recently purchased my first FEW Rolex watches beginning in December 2008. I first bought a DD that I've had my sights on for quite sometime, but quickly came to the conclusion that the watch was just TOO beautiful (and blingy) to wear as my everyday watch, so I then bought a Submariner which I have always admired as a fine sportwatch (and good for everyday wear).

But then just a few weeks ago, I acquired another fine beauty to add to my very small collection of DD's, and snagged up a stunning black diamond DD that I now can't stop looking at each night after I get home from work and wind down for the evening. hah!

Anyway, here is my official roll:

"M" Series Submariner SS (16610)
"Z" Series WG Day-Date w/ Silver Diamond Dial (118239)
"Z" Series WG Day-Date w/ Black Diamond Dial & Diamond Lugs (118339)

Cheers everyone!

Hi Laura, that is interesting, did you ask for the Submariner or was it a surprise gift?

Photos a great

How do you like wearing the Submariner, it would be real cool to see how it is on your wrist.

I'm a 39 year old Air Traffic Controller from Missouri. My watch collection is always evolving. Have owned or currently own a 1964 Tudor Sub model 7928 with the two tone gilt dial, SS DJ with a silver tapestry dial, Z series Explorer 1, Tag Heuer SS Dive watch, Suunto T4 HR, Seiko Automatic Diver's. Depending on my needs from my passion of cycling the watch collection will shrink or grow, carbon fiber wheels are expensive.
