You don't need a degree to own a rolex just hard work and a bit of luck along the way.

I can honestly say that no one has asked for my transcripts when I bought any watch I own, or car, or anything else for that matter.

All it takes is money or credit.

That wasn't the question, though.

The question was, what degree or degrees and what Rolex watch or watches does one have? (or, words to that effect.)

Who care what your degree is ? I am physician, but what makes a man truly special is how he applies his god given talent to make a living and support his family and enjoy his/her fruits of their labor. This is what makes Rolex great it transcends classes and degrees.

+1

I have a B.S. in Industrial Engineering from Ohio State, and I'm currently working on my MBA at Texas A&M. The z-blue milgauss is my daily driver, and I'm looking to add either a used DD or new 116710LN when I finish the MBA.

Very true, college isn't for everyone. Bill Gates and Rush Limbaugh don't have earned college degrees. Lots of people have done nothing with their degrees.

Far from it. Sociology, minor in psychology and a master's in social work. I had to work with more lawyers than you could shake a stick at, though.
