Which Rolex(es) do you own and what do you do for a living???

I thought it would be fun to know what you do for a living and which Rolex(es) you own!! (not owned but what you currently have)

We might also be able to make new contacts!!

I'm in the Cellphone Business (Wholesale, Retail, Unlocking) and I own a SS GMT IIC.

my 1st rolex!

I'm 21 yrs old, full time college student studying business administration, majoring in Finance and Accounting, and I am graduating in July!! I am going to get my CPA, maybe intern for a semester, then get my MBA. Currently I am not working because I have the rest of my life to work...

Brought my 1st Rolex last week!! Yay!!
I'm not a big fan of their women's collection, the men's collections are much sexier... So I really really really wish I had bigger arms so I could get the 40mm Submariner, haha, but I settled for the men's datejust and I love it!!

Welcome Rachael, geat selection. I agree with all you said, but with one caveat. I would say that whatever size wrist you have, you can carry off wearing a Submariner (especially a no date) if you can notionally get accumstomed to the look.
It might take a little while, but I'm sure you like many other ladies before you do look great wearing a Submariner.

One more question, how many years you spend to collect 'em?
The difference between Mike and I is that ALL of Mike's watches are perfect. See below.

Some of mine are well-worn.

Been collecting for around 10 years, but seriously for about six years.

Wow! this thread has been running for 9 years!!!

These are the first 3 posts from back in June 2008

Would be intersting to catch up with the some of the early contributers to see how their collections have evolved over the years and if they even still contribute on TRF...
