I am an Oncology P.A. and a former Doctor of Podiatric Medicine. I am also a band vocalist and Jazz singer. I have had my GMT Master Root Beer for 22 years...No plans for another. I could buy a couple of guitars for that money .OR, one really hi end jazz guitar. I like Rolexes a lot but I have some other things I must do first. I really enjoy seeing all these fantastic watches you guys have. Keep up the good work. Amazing pictures too. I appreciate all that I have learned on this forum. There are some very knowledgeable folks here.

I work aboard a factory trawler based out of Seattle, as Chief Steward.
Spend winter in the Bering sea, Summer in the Pacific off the coasts of WA & OR. Vessel holds close to 1000 Metric tons of frozen product per 8-10 day trip at sea.
So far the Plat YM is my favorite, but also have an Exp II, TT Sub, ND Sub and a GMT 16700. Still looking for a YG DD to add to the collection.

Pic was taken a few years ago while we were in the Aleutians

31... IT Director for a software company in Boston... My first, and only Rolex, a Submariner Date, is a wedding gift from my FI... I was supposed to officially take ownership it this summer at the wedding, but couldn't resist the urge and put it on in the car when we left the AD a few months ago, and have been wearing it daily ever since...

They are all focused towards the management of current military bases. Its a top-tier agency that sits right along side of HQDA.


USAEC is specifically responsible for the environmental impacts of waste created by warfare and any type of army activity related to the local ecosystems. Lots of soil surveyors, agricultural scientists, bio-chemical engineers that attempt to create "cleaner" bombs and whatnot. IMO, its not a very mission-critical agency because its not R&D but, meh. I just manage a network.

No I don't but DNV is a classification society they do not insure ships, i.e. pay claims, they just ensure they meet certain physical standards. No you're not "small" to me just small when compared to a 300,000+ DWT VLCC!

I have the upmost respect for all seamen so I doff my cap to you.

I'm an engineer and own a Milgauss, kinda fitting really

This was the watch that bought me to the brand, and I love it.

I also do a bit of diving, so the DeepSea is next on my list.

I am 45 years old, and employed high technology sales account manager for a high technology company here in Silicon Valley. I was born and raised in Northern California (Sunnyvale and surrounding communities) and lived in Los Angeles for 5 years in the 80's while attending UCLA. I currently own 7 Rolexes (the photo shows most of them) and the one that is not in the photo is my new Datejust 116200. I think this is a great forum with great folks !
