I shoulda been more specific... I used to practice as an architect but now I run the family business while still doing small interesting projects on the side... I have watches, but I don't have a house, am still living with my parents (on occasion) and refusing to pay rent

You have the watches, which is priority number one!

I'm an investment banker and I am 48. My daily driver is a 16600 Sea-Dweller, which fits my lifestyle, as I race sailboats in my spare time and I like a very rugged, durable, simple watch.

I got my first Rolex after I received my first meaningful bonus when I was 28 years old, and that watch was a 16710 GMT-Master, in Pepsi configuration (I miss that one), then I went through a series of SS Submariners until all of friends had them, and I didn't like the cyclops, and wanted something ultra shock proof, so that is what led me to the SD. I am usually a "one-watch" guy, and actually care for very few of the Rolex offerings, as I think many of them are tacky. I buy my watches for subtle function. I don't care for yellow gold, diamonds, shiny bits, but rather prefer brushed stainless steel, low-key professional watches. As far as the future is concerned, I think Rolex needs to come up with some new and interesting offerings, as the block-cased watches leave me wanting more. When women are the new market for men's professional watches, something is amiss at Rolex, and I hope they give the customers a range of offerings that compete with Pam, IWC, etc. I'm not interested in a unisex line.

Lucky you! If I were to get into my dad's collection, I'd find a worn-out Swiss Army watch, an ugly Raymond Weil, and a vintage IWC that we bought him, for which he opted to have a quartz movement installed.

Cleaning up old military bases that have been closed? Just a wild guess. The defense department can be pretty messy.

Hi I'm 44, based in Australia, and run a small engineering company that builds waste incineration and air pollution control plants. It's Sunday and I've been working all weekend whilst the wife and kids are having fun in Vanuatu.

I have an EXP2, TT Blue Sub, GMT2 Coke, speedy Pro and an old Tudor Monte Carlo. I'm number 2 on the list for a SS Daytona which I should have before the end of the year.

I'm off to Malaysia tomorrow where I know I can walk into several AD's a get a SS daytona for about 12K USD or a YG Daytona for about 21K USD.

The urge to buy something is strong.

[redcalx]

I'm an Art Director (Advertising, mostly Web), 30 years old, and I've got a GMTII (16710) and a GMTIIC (116710). Probably gonna sell the original GMT soon though - I love the IIc too much to ever take it off.

USAEC umbrella-ed underneath IMCOM...which in itself is a new MACOM. Stands for Installation Management command. AEC (at the time army environmental center), IMA (installation management agency) and MWR all merged underneath a new MACOM called IMCOM. They are all focused towards the management of current military bases. Its a top-tier agency that sits right along side of HQDA.


USAEC is specifically responsible for the environmental impacts of waste created by warfare and any type of army activity related to the local ecosystems. Lots of soil surveyors, agricultural scientists, bio-chemical engineers that attempt to create "cleaner" bombs and whatnot. IMO, its not a very mission-critical agency because its not R&D but, meh. I just manage a network.

I could buy a couple of guitars for that money .OR, one really hi end jazz guitar. I like Rolexes a lot but I have some other things I must do first. I really enjoy seeing all these fantastic watches you guys have. Keep up the good work. Amazing pictures too. I appreciate all that I have learned on this forum. There are some very knowledgeable folks here.

No I don't but DNV is a classification society they do not insure ships, i.e. pay claims, they just ensure they meet certain physical standards. No you're not "small" to me just small when compared to a 300,000+ DWT VLCC!

I have the upmost respect for all seamen so I doff my cap to you.

[PacNW]

Well thanks
