Hi guys, I have had basically three careers.

I am 53 yo and now retired. I went to a technical school and worked as a Commercial Diver for a few years and then went back to College and got an Engineering Degree. I worked in Nuclear Power on refit and overhaul of US Nuclear Submarines and then at Commercial Nuclear Power plants doing testing and startup for a few more years. Then I went into Manufacturing Engineering and Maintenance for a few more. Now I ride my bicycle, travel, and try to get my two sons through College. I have owned two Seadwellers and an older Sub that I no longer have.

Currently I have a Submariner LV and a two tone GMTII Ceramic. The two in the middle of this picture are my only Rolex at this time.

27 year old lawyer living in Chicago. My watches include a Z serial Sea Dweller, Omega Planet Ocean, Omega Speedmaster Sapphire Sandwich and Omega Great White GMT. I'm going to flip a couple of the Omegas to get a GMT Pepsi. I would have done it by now but I can't decide which ones are getting demoted.

I've never been a fan of the Daytona until joining this forum. The white faced SS Daytona and is a future must have.

Don't think I have qualified to post here yet, but I trade financial instruments for a living. Looking to buy a used 18k white gold Daytona. It will be my first Rolex, but not my first "high end" watch.

Hopefully soon I can be a Rolex owner.

I just turned 31 last week. I work in the IT field.
Im currently back in school finishing up my credits to get my law degree. Something I should have done years ago, but its never too late.

I currently do not own any Rolex. Though I have a GMT II Coke on layaway and soon it will be mine. The waiting is killing me!
