This was the watch that sparked my interest in Rolex. It was my Dad's and I saw it on his wrist every day since I was young enough to remember. I don't know if I have a passion for the brand like others, just respect the quality of the brand and each of my Rolexes has some sentimental value.

The ones that really sparked my interest were the 16613 and the Pepsi GMT II - what can I say, I like colour? :)

The TT DJ made me fall in love with Rolex, such a classic design.

As a teenager in the '60s I remember how impressed I was with the datejust, two tone with jubilee band. I think all the male celebrities of that era wore the watch at one time or another.

I always thought rolex was too small - until a few years ago when they increased the size of the sports line (40mm GMT and SUB) - now I love both of those lines, perfect size for me.
The deep sea is still too top heavy for my taster.
would love a 42mm GMT -
