Here’s a pic of one of my recent jobs. I could use your services after walking on those heels for a whole day.

That would be something although I would probably still feel like I don't deserve it because I haven't earned it myself.

That's probably the 'coolest' way to lose an item, still sucks though...

If you win it, you were destined to have it. The only feeling that is relevant is how it feels on your wrist.

I own a construction company.

We design and build distribution centers. Think Amazon on a much smaller scale.

My first Rolex was around 33 I think.

I made a career in building industry in New Zealand. I moved to NZ only a few years ago and was impressed with its architecture and house design. I found one reliable local recruitment company here in Auckland. Their specialists helped me to find a well-paid work as a contactor so now I'm here. Always wanted to make a successful career in architecture.

Age 62. Retired from career as emergency physician at age 56. Now I'm the director of the ski patrol at a Minnesota ski resort. I much prefer the second career. First Rolex was a two-tone 16613 with a diamond string dial. Bought it in 19991 before I knew diamonds weren't cool. Still wear it in the rotation.
