Have you ever done Rolex business with JomaShop in Brooklyn? If so what was your experience? Would you do business with them again?

I guess this is a good place to make my first post.

I am a Business student in a transfer program from my local community college transferring to the University of Michigan. I am getting a BBA with a focus on supply chain management and international business.

I don't currently have a Rolex, but am a huge fan. I've set a goal of owning a 116200 BF OB as my graduation present to myself, with a Pepsi GMT to follow or a sub. I am about 60 credits in with 120 needed to finish. I wish I would have went to school 10 years ago when most kids do, I feel so old there now - Will

I am more impressed with the diversity of the members than the actual accomplishments. How often can you find so many people with different backgrounds with something in common? I, myself, find it unique that this hobby we share makes us all part of a brotherhood (sisters too). I would just as likely have a beer with someone from the "School of Hard Knocks" as a CEO, if they shared the same passion; after all, isn't that why we are all here?

Agreed!
Everything from people who has worked really hard to get the degree they persue to greaseheads like me!
Enjoying this!

I myself only have (similar to, Swedish system abit different) college degree and one extra year after.
College - Airplane technician, heavy jet aircrafts
The exta year - Helicopter technician, light & heavy helicopters (turbine and piston) and I also took cert for light piston engine aircrafts

What I work with?
Commissioning engineer for ABB. Doing drives and PLC systems
Continue this for a few more years and then probably go back to school and get a degree in automation engineer. Not that I need to but I want to learn more theoretical parts, practical I know from my line of work and then go back to the same job.

EDIT: Almost forgot, the watch!

1969: B.S., B.A.
1971: Bought first Rolex (current GMT)
1973: M.B.A.
Interim: No more school, worked, and flipped a few watches.
2014: Now retired with three good watches and two clunkers (see below). No more school, no more work, but watch flipping will likely continue.

Most of the time I wear an old 1675... or the Daydate when the time is right.. Other times it is just black subs and every now and then an Explorer or an Old Daytona.

I've gone vintage so far, though I'm likely going to get a late-model Explorer II soon.
