Rolex and your Profession

I an curious as to what we all do for a living, our professions. We mostly all have a Rolex, some have many so we need to be able to afford them too.


For me, when i bought my first I was just 21 years old (in 1990-91) and I was an air-frame fitter working in Saudi Arabia. I still had to save hard to afford it. There was no way I could have bought it if i was still working in the UK. When the main spring broke on my GMT for the second time about 4 years ago, (back in the UK working again) I couldn't afford the service until now.

Right now my life has changed. For the last 3 years I have been working in China as a Freelance Quality Supervisor working for a big German company. The money worries have gone, and I just bought my new Explorer II.


So what is your job?

Over 3000 posts. Been so long since I looked at it, I didn't realize it'd gotten that big!
