You still have 4 empty slots left! Open one more facility in Vietnam and you will fill them in no time!

I just started this year of two Rolexes.. Man...I'm so far behind!

Black Diamond, your Black Diamond Rolex is awesome! I wonder if we could start a day or week trade deal? I would love to try a dress up model once!

So many to try and so little money or time!

First off, nice collection! But, if I was driving around a cab all day, I'd be a bit concerned about wearing such fine timepieces as those, and being robbed! I guess as long as your stash is insured (and I hope yours is), then it's all good in the hood. Besides, I guess i'd still rather wear and enjoy my watches, than keep'em safe and purdy at home in a drawer or safe.

I just got a new website www.taxlawadvice.com.au

Not set up yet, but I hope this will be my main career for the rest of my working life.

Of course I have to wear a Rolex

Welcome, jramarch, but I AM NOT giving my son my 1958 Rolex simply because he graduates from Catholic University in May with a degree in Architecture!

BTW, he competed for a fellowship in Germany, and he won! http://www.cdsintl.org/fellowshipsab...interviews.php
