Win A Race|Get A Rolex

Luxury watches were not on my mind when I started to sail. When I started to race on yachts I was a young pup and did it to learn how to sail. Learn I certainly did and I was able to move along to racing my own small boat while at the same time continuing to race on larger yachts a swell. As my experience expanded I was able to take a more vital role on the large yacht I had been racing on for years.

The owner of the boat I crewed on was very wealthy and liked to maintain a steady group of crew members and to encourage our participation he always covered expenses and meals and was very generous. If you sail in large races and regattas you learn pretty quickly that Rolex Watch Company is a major sponsor of major yacht racing. We sailed in many of their sponsored races but not at a national level until now.

We had the opportunity to sail our Swan in The Rolex Championship in Monterrey and were able to win our division. The Skipper was presented with a Rolex Yachtmaster. It was a beautiful timepiece and we all admired it as much as the trophy. To our surprise, at our next gathering, the yacht's owner presented us all with a Rolex Submariner. What a great surprise and whata great watch. I now where mine with pride every where I go.

When To Buy Your First Rolex

I knew very early in my professional career that I would someday treat myself to a fine watch. After studying the merits and looks of many watches I chose a Rolex as my desired timepiece. Even though I was not yet in a position to make the purchase I was well aware of which model I would acquire - The Rolex Yacht Master!



When I wondered would be the right time to buy my watch. Should I wait until I was comfortable with my salary and expenses? Or should I go out on a limb? Should I buy it for myself as a celebration or reward, or just when it was finaancially a sound decision?

It seemed like I had no answers even as my career took off and my salary increased. Then as if I never needed to have thought about this question at all my decision was made. I had just met the woman of my dreams and had gotten my best job opportunity. just as was deciding when to buy my watch it dawned on me that I needed, instead, to buy an engaement ring and ask my girl friend to marry me. She said yes and as a bonus gave me that Rolex Yacht Master for my birthday. So sometimes you can wish for something and have your dreams answered.
