What’s everyone’s career?

Curious to know what all you Rolex wearers and enthusiasts do as a career!

Age / career would be great to know. Also maybe age of first Rolex purchase.

I’ll start.

28 yo

Probably one of the very few blue collar guys in here lol! I buy and flip homes and invest in long term real estate holds that produce cash flow.

First Rolex purchased at 26!



Would love to hear from everyone.

Cheers

At 22 bought my first Rolex (5513), 24 lost said Rolex on an airborne operation near Ft. Stewart Georgia (lesson learned - don't ignore loose screws). Currently defend shareholders from operators.
