"My second Rolex is a Pepsi GMT Master II (D Serial) 16710. I have the Coke bezel too but have no plans to ever put it on the watch (I prefer the classic Pepsi look). Initially I had a tough time deciding between the Sea Dweller and GMT but after buying the SD I still couldn't get the GMT out of my mind so I decided to make the purchase. The watch arrived on my birthday this year. Needless to say, its arrival enhanced an already great day."
"My first Rolex is a Sea Dweller (Z serial) 16600. I bought my SD as a gift to myself following my time at my first law firm. This is without a doubt my favorite watch and if I was forced to choose one watch to keep the Sea Dweller would be that watch. I wear it on a gray, bond or dark green nato strap 90% of the time and on the bracelet the other 10%. "
"The first watch is my SS Datejust 116234 with mother-of-pearl dial and diamond hour markers. I got it last March at the Rolex store in Encore in Vegas as a birthday gift from my better half."
"I bought it here in San Diego at an AD about 2 weeks after I got the DJ. I had fallen in love with Rolexes and wanted one that was less dressy and more robust that I would feel comfortable wearing in the water and using everyday."
"This was the original, literary James Bond watch, as described (and worn personally) by Ian Fleming himself. My own Rolex 1016 Explorer is believed to have been produced just hours before Mr. Fleming’s, and, with its dial still intact, represents as close as we’re likely to get to what Agent 007 saw on his wrist in “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service."
"I bought the LV for my 30th Birthday. I wanted a nice watch wich I knew would last me a lifetime and then some. There was never any doubt, it had to be a Rolex and the LV just had me awestruck. Had to special order it and I didn`t even get to try one on for size before it arrived. I was so excited when I got the call, it arrived the day before my birthday, excellent timing! Alot of watches has come and gone since, but this one will never leave."
"The history behind this watch is enough to want one. When I found this Z serial preloved at a good price I just had to have it. I love the simplicity of the dial and how comfortable it wears on the wrist. I believe this one is a keeper!"
"Let's see... it's my first (and only) Rolex and I absolutely love it. I've
wanted a Rolex ever since I was little, and mine came home in December 2008
:)"
"The Grail I wanted for over 10 years, this Daytona was a goal I had set for myself during hard times, saying: "One Day, I'm going to get my Daytona!" I finally did! :)"
"The Submariner was always the quintessential Rolex to me and I had always wanted one since I was about 12 years of age. Fast forward about 12 years later, I was recently promoted and felt that this was a good way to celebrate this promotion. "

"Stainless Steel - bought in 2009. My latest purchase, not much history yet, however I hadn't had it five minutes and my 8 year old son had his claim in for it, he thinks it's the coolest watch he has ever seen, I agree with him! The history will come, no doubt about it."

"Stainless Steel - Silver Dial - bought new in 1986. This was my first Rolex, I bought it from the AD in my home town, the same one I stood outside with my Dad at the age of 8 years old when he told me "See that watch in the fish tank, the gold one hanging in the bubble stream? That watch is keeping perfect time, it will never leak and it will never stop as long as the bubbles move it just that little bit, if you ever have enough money son, come back here and buy one, these are the best watches in the world"....it took me anouther 15 years to buy one but I got there and that was the start..."

"Stainless Steel - Black Dial - bought new in 1988. This was bought from the same AD, I had the money and thought it would be great to have two colour schemes, this watch out of my collection has seen the most wrist time for sure, my eldest son has his claim in for this one, he gets to wear it sometimes but he's only 17 so it's only once in a while, the big stupid grin he gets on his face while he is wearing it is classic Rolex appreciation. This watch has a had a new dial and handset as it was involved (with me wearing it) in a bad cycling accident."
"18ct - Gold Diamond Dial - bought in 2002. We went as a family to try living and working in Doha, Qatar in the middle east, it was a nightmare and we didn't stay long. As a present to ourselves my wife and I decided to buy the Gold Rolex watches we had wanted for so long, the DayDate was my selection, it is almost the same as the one in the fish tank at our local AD's all those years ago so it means a lot to me."
"This is my favorite Rolex, and my only Rolex. I bought it when I was 13 years old in September of 2008. It's a classic and its so simple and beautiful!"
