In the late 70s I was in the Goodyear F1 Team and the fashion was for expensive watches...Most of the Goodyear Team had Omega Speedmaster which suited the image well !!
I duly bought a new Speedmaster from Watches of Switzerland in Wolverhampton...I still have that watch because...
In 1979 Georg Loos Porsche 935s won the World Champioship series and he rewarded everybody involved with an inscribed Rolex Submariner..I was on the tyre team.
Wore that for many years and sold when I got married as funds were needed for house purchase etc… (wish I had kept it !!!..but needs must )
Years on bought myself a Submariner with gold trim from The Old Watchshop in Southport..a great shop..he has one of the largest personal collections of Military Rolex watches.
When my son was 21 I bought a ss Submarnier from the same outlet.
My watch has kept perfect time for 20 years,,as a treat this year I had a full Rolex service to ensure continued good service.
