I am a middle aged secret agent working in her majesty's service and cannot reveal all I own due to top security clearance issues. I have a very old Rolex Submariner (ref 6205) that is currently out on a secret mission with Bob Ridley (code name watch magician) and the mission ( which I have chosen to accept) is for the return of a properly operating and highly distracting timepiece that I shall wear regularly while performing my secret agent duties. I have no crown guards so I am working on my own with intermittent female support to ensure a successful mission. :) once Mr. Ridley is done with his part of the mission I will be able to share more...inclusive of lots of pictures...stay tuned to channel 007 :)

Worked as a state trooper for five years after college and had a blast.
Decided to pursue a passion and left law enforcement to work for one of the big brokerage firms. Left to go independent several years later to specialize in retirement income planning. Most of my clients are rolex owners.

I have two Rolexes: 16610 and 116610.

Started with a Tag, have a micro-brand auto from a now defunct company that still runs like a top, and just bought my first Rolex, mid eighties Datejust.

Hi, I'm an electronics service tech and for me watches are a hobby I really feel blessed to be able to own the few pieces I have. This is my only Rolex and my favorite watch in my collection.
