I purchased my date just upon graduating from my anesthesia residency, some 35-36 years ago. Had it serviced twice, went swimming, hiking, snorkeling with it. Used it every day in my practice, never shirked a duty, as Call said about Deets in Lonesome Dove.

Must be so great to bond with a quality watch as long as some of you guys. Bet you'd feel like you lost a limb if it went missing!
I've had a watch 40 years but sadly it's not a Rolex and just a hand wind kiddies watch that was a christening gift haha. |

I've had mine for about a year now. I'm relatively new to collecting watches but, I'm eager to build my collection.

You are correct, whenever I sent the watch to RSC I felt my arm was sick, while I have a daily beater for those instances, my daily watch has been and will be my Rolex GMT.

Embarrassingly this thread is older than my first Rolex purchase.
In 2013 I bought a green dial sub. First time I had enough money in my mid 20s |

30 years,
(Submariner 16610 tritium dial) For exactly 30 years he has been my daily friend. Then few months ago I bought a SD43 and now he is my daily friend. (Sub is fine, just taking a nap) |
