Anyone here own a Rolex? Or know someone who does? Anything you can tell me about it? Any and all advice appreciated.
Just thought of this gift idea for my SO for a big anniversary coming up in a few years and figured I'd start saving up for the watch if it was worth it.

A Rolex is a very solid choice for a milestone birthday. They have bulletproof quality and sort of a timeless design that makes them a watch one could wear every day of their life and then leave to children/grandchildren.
That said, I’d test the idea on him a bit, some people don’t like that they’re so recognizable and don’t see themselves as the type of people who wear a Rolex. In which case there are very solid alternatives (a beautiful watch is a great milestone birthday present, doesn’t absolutely have to be a Rolex).

If you can get a sub or gmt will be a great piece as they retain and often increase in value over time. I had to look for a while before getting a new sub at a AD. Was lucky and convinced dealer to check in the back. It's all about building a relationship w dealer and buying history.

Partners who were highly technical in their past. Were there any skills, thought processes or behaviours you had to gain or lose to get to where you are today?

Perhaps an odd question, but I've recently moved into a technical career track. I perform well and have a great career sponsor who has asked me to think bigger about my career goals.
