I'm a college professor. Nancy is a Special Needs teacher. We have a few Rolex between us. Mine are my TT Sub, ~1950 Tudor small rose, 1940 Rolex British military pocket watch, and my treasure, my 1908 Wilsdorf & Davis pendant watch currently out for restoration.

Nancy only has two right now, her circa 1960 gold cocktail watch fresh from a Toronto RSC overhaul, and her Cellini.

We bought one of her sons a 14060 Sub a year or so ago, and are currently looking for a DateJust for another son.

Thank God she only had 5 kids!

Hey Guys,

Going to be the "big 5-0" this July. I am a Senior Engineer at a Nuclear Power Plant here in Ct. I have a GMT II (black bezel) and Sub Date, both Z series. The Sub date looks a little more deisel, but the GMT II is the more comfortable of the two watches.

Regards,

Jim

Hi guys! I'm 45 years young, and as some of you already know (and as my handle implies), I'm a dentist. I work for the Department of Veterans Affairs in Fort Worth, TX. I have an apartment in Grand Prairie TX, and commute home to Houston TX most weekends and holidays, where I own a home. I have purchased A Yacht-Master TT with MOP/diamond/sapphire dial, DateJust TT, and DateJust SS with diamond markers, all within the last 2 years. I have my eye on a GMT II next...

Just made it through all 386 posts, pretty interesting.

26, work for an oil/gas exploration company in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Bought a Omega 2254.50 back in September and followed that up with a Sub LV in November. Trying to be a two watch kind of guy but its hard, the Omega only sees the sunlight once a week if its lucky.
