27 year old Occupational Health and Safety Professional. Currently own a sub no-date, but should be picking up a new watch soon. Likely a datejust.

Here is a photo of my watch that I took for another thread:

Hi all, I'm Mike. This is my first post here so go easy on me

I'm 28, work as a junior accountant Mon - Fri, and detail cars as a hobby on the weekend. Recently got my first DJ as a wedding gift from my grandpa, of which I've been drooling over for the past 24 years.

Jon,
You're quite welcome. It's a rewarding profession having many good as well as not so good days.

I'm in my 50s and I am jazz musician. I bought a DJII in January (blue dial, stick, white gold bezel). Thinking about my next Rolex purchase later this year.

Retired now 16 years ( it's better than working!) from Mine Safety Sytems design, have an Explorer 1 39mm which I feel very comfortable with for wearing anywhere/anytime in London. Would not want to invest in a sub or similar, then feel uncomfortable in it's wear.
Have a BMW F30 320D M-Sport, which in it's class is quite highly rated in the UK. It's my third BMW. Driving anything else?: "you have got to be joking!". It's a first class all round car. A good performance at reasonable cost of running.
I keep fit in the gym and jog 3 x 45 mins/week, unfortunately on pavements. Got to do it, 'cos I like my glass of wine!
