To be honest, I could easily live with just the Explorer but for some daft reason I bought the Sub, so I really need the third watch to balance it up.

I agree, with barely two pages, this may be the best "age club" thread so far. I love the stories and history guys. Thanks for sharing, and keep them coming. Awesome thread.

Thanks for your service too fellas.

If I'm ever going to join this group, I will surely have more than 65 watches at that time.

What is best a custom Rolex or a Rolex that is stuck in custom?

Buy a professional camera and you´re a professional

I'll list a few of my past underwater adventures with my 1967 5513:
Wreck diver, ice diver, search and rescue diver, scuba instructor, underwater photography, and night diver.

I traded my tt Sub. because I read that chlorine attacked gold and I was in a pool a lot. Plus it was a little too gaudy for me.

My original tt DJ was several years old (the $360 one). The crystal was cracked, the bracelet was broken, and it stopped running. I went in to get an estimate and was offered $1200 for a trade in. Couldn't pass that up.

I bought the tt Daytona to use for judging dog obedience trials and practices. But now use my 16610 and Pelagos for that and timing dog tracking events.

And thank all you veterans for your service.
