Hey Fellas (and ladies):

Long time lurker. Acquired my first Rolex during this last holiday season.

A little about me: I just turned 35. I went into the Navy after high school, then undergrad and subsequently law school. I took the bar again last week so hopefully I passed. Naughty bar. Naughty graders actually but its ok. Currently applying to jobs again. Law firms mostly, but I am looking at Mergers and Acquisitions companies too because I really liked that stuff in law school and frankly find practicing law to be [fill in not so nice adjective]. Long term goal will be to run for public office. I was campaigning a little before I found out I failed the bar actually, then dropped out to study again.

About my little buddy: It was gift to myself. I saved enough money over the years and pulled the trigger eventually. The beauty of the original Submariner is something I have a hard time looking past. It is nice to look at and I appreciate the no date's history. However, the lack of date does get frustrating sometimes. For now I am keeping it. I wear it everyday. I look at it at least twice a minute hah. The only times its not on my wrist are when I am in the gym or sleeping.

Cheers Everyone


Update: I tried attaching this photo I took but it's too big (that's what... nope). So, let me figure this resizing thing out and I will update this post.

Thanks for your service and welcome to the club :)

I’ve had trouble with the size of pics before, so I downloaded Tapatalk because I noticed some forum members use it

It makes it easier for me too

Thanks for introducing yourself and joining. Shared watch lover opinions and thoughts are important, but the Rolex addiction this site might create is a dangerous thing, pocket-wise!
