New member...future owner! Hi from Brussels!
Hi guys,
New member, futur owner (hopefully first Rolex in 2 years from now). In short, I graduated as an engineer, but wasn’t happy with my job. I decided to change path and started medicine at the age of 25 (and not at 18 like usual here). Couldn’t be more glad I took this decision, even tough it means a lot of sacrifices, from financial or social point of view (hard work, study every day, …). Those sacrifices are nothing, simply because I enjoy what I’m doing. Anyway, I plan to celebrate the end of this long path with a watch I’ll keep forever. I’am a diver since the age of 8, so I’m naturally leaning towards diver's watches. Currently wears a G-shock 9052. My first dream watch was a sea-dweller 16600, but couldn’t buy it as a teenager. My current dream watch is the Deepsea d-blue (ref. 116660). Unfortunately, I’m afraid it will be discontinued before I can celebrate graduation in 2019…This would be horrible, prefer not to consider it! I plan to buy new, since it will a keeper and something to celebrate a very special event (I’ll never sell it, even more if it’s a gift from family). In short, I’ll not post that often (since I don’t have reviews to share), but will hopefully be more active in a few months (time flies)! Cheers PS: after all what I read, I wanted to give a try to this so-called monster…pic attached: no way this watch is too big or too thick, it suits me perfectly (I tried the black model in a 2nd hand reseller’s shop) |

As as said, I don’t have tons of opportunities to post (even tough I could review the Oris diver of my dad), but this forum is great! I enjoy all of your pics and stories guys! Hopefully, I’ll soon be able to savor a watch which I have been waiting for years! Meanwhile, enjoyed a very interesting internship in gastroenterology, and soon in pneumology! Cheers guys, enjoy life in good health! |
