Own? Do? Oh.....

Own? Hmmm...oh, seems that theres quite a few here. Huh? Do? Can't remember, think I'm retired now. Well, kinda

Seriously......a couple+ Datejusts, couple+ Omegas, a YM, a GMTII Coke, a Breitling Navi, a Glycine, a prehistoric Bulova, a......gulp.....quartz Timex. About average for a 'rode hard and put away wet' mechanical engineer WIS? Wish I could take some pics.

I am a Senior IT SAP Business Consultant (means I'm a manager w/ a goofy title for customer billing).
Lately, I've been wearing my 1984 Tophat-Acrylic 16013, that for some lame reason I keep thinking I want to switch to sapphire. I LOVE this watch. 28yrs old and running, consistently, at -2s/24h.

Thanks to all here for all that I have learned and chuckled about. Including, to avoid the whim to change my crystal.

Anyway, here's my stock:
Datejust 1984 Acrylic (my oldest ticker), GSAR 2006, GMT II SS, Omega Speedmaster Professional (late 80’s version), Breitling Colt GMT, Rolex Explorer II (past), Submariner (past), GMT II TT (past), Benrus & Marathon Navigators and misc SandY & Marathon Mil tickers, Invicta 8928c, Invicta 1542, Bulova Precisionist, Seiko 007j, Seiko Solar Railroad, Seiko 5's, Casio Atomics, Citizen Divers, Baume et Mercier Hampton, Luminox F-117, Tissot PRS200, Citizen Skyhawk, Torgoen T06

Sub Date

This is my 1st post. I find this forum very informative, thanks to everyone out there. I like to add Exp II white and SS Daytona white to my stash soon. I work in law enforcement and have a Sub date and 2 Rolex clocks.

Pretty cool first post. Welcome, ROLEXster.
I'm new too, but have learned more than I thought when I first joined.
Nice clocks.

It looks fantastic - honestly, I couldn't decide between GV or yours! Maybe both one day! I like white too, but not like the black or GV.

Hey!

I'm a sales/marketing analyst working daily with MiscroStrategy BI/Omniture and homebrew AS/400 queries. My company is in the process of migrating to SAP, so I'm pretty excited to get my feet wet with BOBJ, Crystal, Etc.

It's exciting to run across someone else who actually knows what I do for a living. Lol. My wife just tells people I make charts and graphs.

5513, first Rolex, owned for 25 years. Thanks to this forum, I found out it's a 1974-1975 vintage. I'm thinking about adding a second, possibly a GMT-II but I'm still learning and tryting to decide. Dad has an '85 two-tone Datejust, silver dial. That started my interest.

I'm in local law enforcement.

52 and unemployed. I own the new two tone Submariner in blue and a twenty year old Sub with a black dial, now with a sports strap as the original bracelet expanded and snapped.
Enjoying the forum. Thanks to all the experts for their invaluable advice.

I've been gaining information from this forum for a few years, but haven't posted much. I'm a project engineer and have an Explorer II (16570, black). I rotate this with 2 Omegas - a Speedmaster (3570.50) and a Seamaster (2232.80, electric blue titanium).
