What do you do for a living? *first-post*

New to the forum, yet to own a rolex.

Just started a new position at a jewlery store and the rolex's there are stunning and seem to sell with ease despite the price.

I know that if your priorities are in order bascially anyone with a decent paying job can own a rolly, i was just wondering what do the people of the rolex forum do for a living. Feel free to include hobbies, and things you do in your free time.


Does anyone that owns a daytona race, or how about owners of submariners that actually scuba dive.

Thanks!!

Welcome to the forum, see the thread above.

You will probably catch some snarky comments for using the word "rolly" as it seems to be hit or miss with members.

Not sure about any scuba divers with submariners... But I can assure you if you stick around you will find someone who races and wears a Daytona.

Welcome...I work in the watch industry and although I don't die for a living, I do go scuba diving, snorkelling & swimming down around the Islands in the South China Sea with my Sub. I've also travelled 'round the globe with.my GMT Master II ,. Cheers!

Marine Biologist. I remember when I bought my first Rolex...The sea was angry that day, my friends - like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli.

I am a retired GM dealer and U.S. Army Reserve officer. Now, as my twilight years approach, I am a United Methodist Minister. Truly, He works in those mysterious ways!

I wear a Tudor Submariner (model 75090, black face/dial). I have another 75090 in the safe box for my middle son's college graduation.

Welcome to the Forum. Enjoy your stay here.

Welcome to the forum! Rolly is part of a bug-name we used to nickname when we were kids. ie, Rolly-Polly

A Rolex, well that Sir, is a Horse of a different color!

Oh, my job is to Enjoy Life...I'm Full Time now

Welcome to the forum. I don't dive as often as I would like, but this is one of my favorite trips........Spearfishing Lionfish in Roatan Honduras. Not a Sub, but a Seadweller 16600. I NEVER dive without my SD or a Sub.

(BTW, we don't say Rollie/Rolly around here)
