Peter Sorbo

For Peter Sorbo, winning the Rolex Submariner No-Date could not have worked out much better.

A firefighter and devoted family man, Peter had already been thinking about buying himself a Rolex when he retires in the next few years.

“I’m a firefighter, and I’m probably retiring in the next couple years. I was going to buy myself a Rolex as a retirement gift.”

Instead, on just his third draw with Wolf Watch Club, he won one.

Peter entered Wolf Watch Club’s Double Submariner Draw after seeing that two watches were being awarded. He purchased three tickets, figuring the two-winner format gave him a little better chance.

When the first-place winner selected the Submariner Date, it left Peter with exactly the watch he had hoped for.

“I love the No-Date, so it totally worked out.”

Outside of work, Peter describes himself simply as a family man. His daughters keep the family busy with softball and volleyball, and much of his time revolves around supporting them and spending time together.

“Everything’s about my family at the end of the day.”

Peter also takes a lot of pride in his career as a firefighter and the people he works alongside.

“I just try to help people as much as I can. The guys I work with are amazing. I feel very blessed in my life. I never say lucky, I always say blessed.”

When he does have some downtime, Peter enjoys taking care of his home, yard and pool. Watches have also gradually become a hobby. His first watch was a Seiko GMT that he purchased on eBay for around $300, and from there he began spending more time researching different watches and watching content online.

Rolex, however, had always stood out to him.

“I’ve always loved the Rolex, not even for the status. It’s just such a nice-looking watch. For me, that Submariner is the watch.”

Part of what Peter loves about the Submariner is its versatility.

“I feel like you could wear that with a pair of shorts at a barbecue, or you could wear it to a wedding in a suit. It’s just such a versatile timepiece.”

Peter first came across Wolf Watch Club through social media and decided to do some research before entering. After looking through the website, reviews and previous winners, he felt comfortable giving it a shot.

He entered selectively, generally waiting for watches that genuinely appealed to him. When the Double Submariner Draw appeared, it was an easy decision.

Peter was not watching the draw live when his name was selected. He first saw the winner email and then immediately went to YouTube to watch the recording.

“When he said my name, I was like, ‘Oh my God.’”

His wife had initially been skeptical, so Peter showed her the live draw. His daughters were just as shocked when they realized he had actually won.

For Peter, the experience also highlighted what attracted him to the draws in the first place.

“It’s a wonderful way to get a luxury watch. Not everybody can shell out fifteen or eighteen thousand dollars for the watch of their dreams. You buy a couple tickets and you never know at the end of the day.”

In Peter’s case, throwing his hat in the ring resulted in the exact Rolex he had been planning to buy himself years down the road.

“Before the watch raffle, owning a luxury timepiece felt like a distant dream. As a firefighter, I’ve spent my career serving my community, and I always told myself that one day—when I retired—I would celebrate that chapter by buying my first luxury watch.

I never imagined that day would come this way.

When I found out I had won the raffle, I was completely speechless. What I had planned as a retirement gift to myself became a reality years earlier than expected. It’s more than just a watch—it’s a reminder that sometimes life has incredible surprises in store.

This timepiece will always represent hard work, dedication, and a little bit of unexpected luck.

I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity and can’t thank everyone involved enough for making a lifelong dream come true. Every time I look at my wrist, I’ll remember this unforgettable moment!”

For Jessica Bakis, winning the black Santos de Cartier was an unforgettable surprise.

Jessica joined Wolf Watch Club only a few weeks after her husband began entering the draws. On just her third draw, with two tickets, she became the winner of a watch that perfectly matched her growing passion for timepieces.

Jessica is 48 years old, a mother, and has been married for 25 years. She works as a hair colorist and spends much of her time focused on her career and family.

“Lately, I feel like all I do is work,” she said. “I have three little dogs that I love spending time with, and I love to cook.”

She also joked about another favourite pastime.

“If shopping were an Olympic sport, I think I’d medal in it.”

Jessica has long appreciated luxury goods and is an avid handbag collector, but her interest in watches only began developing more recently.

“I always appreciated watches and timepieces. My husband really loves them, and they’re beautiful. I support him purchasing them because they appreciate in value, they’re collectors’ items, and they’re like an investment.”

For her day-to-day life as a hair colorist, Jessica normally relies on her Apple Watch. Her perspective on traditional watches began to change when her husband bought her a Cartier Tank.

“This year, I fell in love with the Cartier Tank, and my husband bought it for me. I think that broke the ice and led to me falling in love with timepieces.”

She soon found herself looking at watches online and exploring styles beyond the smaller women’s pieces she had previously worn.

“Instead of my husband just looking at men’s watches, I started looking at women’s Rolexes and women’s watches. But I love men’s watches. I love the way they look on a woman’s wrist.”

Although Jessica enjoys feminine fashion, she loves the contrast created by a larger, sportier watch.

“I wear a lot of dresses and a lot of makeup, but I think a men’s watch gives almost a masculine edge. I just love that style.”

After watching her husband enter Wolf Watch Club draws, Jessica decided it was time to try for herself.

“I told him, ‘I’m going to buy raffle tickets. I want to do it. I want one of these watches.”

Her husband laughed and told her to go for it.

“I said, ‘I’m going to do it. Why can’t I have a watch?’”

On the night of the draw, Jessica was surrounded by her family. Her parents were visiting, and her daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend were also home. Everyone was sitting outside together while Jessica’s husband watched the live draw on his phone.

“We were sitting outside on the deck at the table, and my husband was watching it live on his phone.”

Jessica was sitting beside him when he suddenly heard her name.

“He said, ‘They called your name.’ I was like, ‘What?’ He said, ‘Jessica, you won. They called your name.’”

Jessica immediately reached for her own phone to bring up the live stream.

“I was like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ It was crazy. We were so surprised.”

The win quickly created some playful competition between Jessica and her husband.

“My husband said, ‘I don’t think lightning will strike twice, so maybe next week it’s my turn.’”

Jessica was not ready to concede the next win so easily.

“I said, ‘Well, I don’t know about that, because I won another ticket.’”

After receiving the Santos de Cartier, Jessica was thrilled by how it looked in person.

“I picked the watch up yesterday, and it’s absolutely gorgeous. It’s breathtaking.”

The bracelet was slightly too large for her small wrist, so she planned to take it to a jeweller to have it professionally fitted.

“I don’t want to take the links out of the watch myself, so I’m going to bring it to a jeweller to have it sized.”

Her husband briefly thought Jessica might give the watch to him, but the Santos was exactly the type of larger watch she had begun to love.

“My husband thought I was going to give it to him.”

That was not going to happen.

“It’s a men’s watch, and I love that style. I have a dainty, pretty watch at home, the small Cartier Tank, and I absolutely love it. But that’s a dainty women’s watch.”

The black Santos offered something entirely different: the bold, larger look Jessica had been admiring on women’s wrists.

For Jessica, the win was more than an exciting moment. It marked the beginning of a new chapter in her growing appreciation for watches.

“It was such a wonderful surprise. It’s a beautiful watch, and I feel so lucky.”

“I’m so thankful to have had that opportunity.”

From entering alongside her husband to hearing her name called while surrounded by family, Jessica’s third Wolf Watch Club draw became a moment none of them will forget.

For Dr. Michael Hayoun, winning an Omega Seamaster Diver 300M was the perfect addition to his growing watch collection. It was an especially exciting win for a longtime James Bond fan.

“I’m a pretty big James Bond fan, and the Seamaster is clearly the James Bond watch. That was one of the main reasons I wanted it .”

Originally from New Jersey, Dr. Hayoun is an emergency physician and medical toxicologist. He spends much of his time working in the emergency room, treating everything from heart attacks and strokes to chest pain and other medical emergencies.

He also specializes in managing poisonings, overdoses, medication interactions, and other toxicology cases.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Hayoun enjoys travelling, cooking, taking classes, and exploring new experiences. A recent trip to Japan played an important role in developing his interest in watches.

“I was going to Japan and ended up buying a Grand Seiko while I was there. When you start looking for watch content on social media, you naturally begin seeing even more of it.”

While researching watches and learning more about the hobby, he came across Wolf Watch Club.

“I looked into it, watched one of the YouTube live draws, and thought, ‘Okay, let me give it a try.’”

Before entering, Dr. Hayoun took the time to learn more about the process and watch previous draws.

“It seemed like a very transparent process, which I appreciated.”

After entering the draws for several weeks, Dr. Hayoun joined the live stream on draw night. When his name was announced, it took a moment for the news to register.

“I heard my name and thought, ‘Wait, what? I’m here! I’m here!’”

The excitement was immediate. Not only had he won a watch closely connected to one of his favourite film franchises, but it was also a piece that perfectly matched his personal taste.

“I like a nice watch that isn’t too gaudy. It’s something that people who know watches will recognize, but it isn’t just about showing off.”

Dr. Hayoun’s interest in watches began with a custom piece created by an Australian watchmaker. The watch featured a design inspired by his career, including the word “Toxicology” and a skull logo he helped create.

“That was my first custom watch. It says ‘Toxicology’ on it, has a skull, and uses the colours and logo I wanted.”

His Grand Seiko followed, and that was when his appreciation for watches truly began to grow.

“That’s kind of how the bug got me. I thought, ‘This is a really nice watch.’”

Now, the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M joins his collection as his biggest watch win yet.

For a doctor who spends long hours helping others through emergencies, the win offered an unforgettable moment of excitement before another busy stretch of shifts.

“I work a lot. I had a shift starting shortly after our call, and then I was working five nights in a row.”

From discovering Wolf Watch Club through his growing interest in watches to hearing his name announced live, Dr. Hayoun’s experience came together in a way he never expected.

For a James Bond fan, it is hard to imagine a more fitting watch to win than the Omega Seamaster.

 

Winning a Rolex once is unforgettable. For Allen Schwabe, the unbelievable happened twice.

Allen was watching the live draw when his name was called as the winner of the Rolex GMT-Master II “Bruce Wayne.” The moment felt so surreal that he briefly wondered whether he had somehow opened the recording of his previous victory.

“I thought, did I somehow get the past one?” Allen recalled. “It just seemed so surreal.”

It was not a replay. Allen had won the Rolex “Bruce Wayne” for a second time.

The story began after his first win, when Allen received a call from a major watch dealer who had been searching for the model. The dealer offered him two watches in exchange: a 41 mm two-tone Rolex with an ivory dial and a Rolex Deepsea.

They were two watches Allen had always wanted, and the offer represented considerably more value than the “Bruce Wayne.” Allen accepted the trade and was thrilled with both watches.

However, after the trade was complete, he began to think about what he had given up.

The first “Bruce Wayne” was more than a valuable timepiece. It was a watch he had won, with a personal story that could one day be passed down to his family.

“I was sitting there thinking, what a story to give my kids,” Allen said.

Although Allen loved the watches he received in the trade, he regretted losing the sentimental connection attached to his original win. That was why he decided to enter another draw for the same watch.

Then, incredibly, his name was called again.

Allen watched the result happen live, but an issue with his YouTube account prevented him from commenting. As he tried to make sense of what he was seeing, he realized that he had truly won the same Rolex for a second time.

“I’m beyond the moon,” he said. “I’m so excited. I can’t believe that I got a second one.”

His family was just as excited. Allen has three kids, ages 44, 41 and 30, and they gave him a clear message after hearing the news.

“You keep this one, Dad.”

For Allen, the Rolex GMT-Master II “Bruce Wayne” is a watch that works for almost any occasion.

“If you’re a stylish guy, you’ll like it. If you’re a casual guy, you’ll like it,” he said. “It just goes with everything.”

Allen’s story is an extraordinary reminder that winning once does not mean it cannot happen again. After trading his first “Bruce Wayne” for two watches he had always wanted, he was given another chance to own the watch and preserve the story connected to it.

This time, the Rolex “Bruce Wayne” returns to Allen with an even more remarkable history: not one win, but two.

For David McCarthy, winning the Rolex Submariner No-Date was the realization of a long-held goal.

David lives in Ballincollig, a town just outside Cork City, Ireland. Although the area is now home to around 20,000 people, he remembers growing up in what locals called “The Village,” when the population was closer to 1,000.

After spending many years living in different parts of Ireland, David eventually returned to his hometown around 20 years ago.

Professionally, David has spent more than 30 years working in retail and is currently a Store Manager for a major food retailer, which he describes as the Irish and UK equivalent of Walmart.

Outside of work, David has a wide range of interests. He is an avid reader, particularly when it comes to history and astronomy, as well as science fiction and fantasy. He also enjoys walking and travelling abroad whenever the opportunity arises.

His interest in luxury watches only began developing a few years ago.

“I never had a great interest in luxury or upmarket watches until a few years back, when I started to see them as both a great accessory and potentially a worthy long-term investment.”

That growing interest eventually led David to begin selectively entering competitions for watches and gold bullion, two things he appreciates as tangible assets to own.

Along the way, he has already had some impressive luck, winning several Breitling pieces as well as a TAG Heuer. But there were still two names at the top of his wish list.

“I’ve always really wanted to own a Rolex or a Patek Philippe.”

David first discovered Wolf Watch Club through either Instagram or Facebook. Before entering, he took the time to look into the club and the experiences of previous winners.

“Your bona fides appeared impeccable, with credible testimonials from multiple happy winners across the globe.”

That research gave him the confidence to enter, and on his fourth draw with Wolf Watch Club, David’s name was selected as the winner of the Rolex Submariner No-Date.

The win also made David Wolf Watch Club’s first winner from Ireland.

For someone who had long hoped to add a Rolex to his collection, the Submariner No-Date made the moment particularly special.

“So again, really delighted and thanks.”

For Phu Nguyen, winning a Rolex Daytona “Reverse Panda” was already an unbelievable surprise. Winning it on his 35th birthday made the moment feel almost meant to be.

Phu is Dutch Vietnamese and was born and raised in the Netherlands. He lives there with his wife and their two children and currently works as the CTO of a telecommunications company.

Outside of work, Phu enjoys playing padel, riding his Ducati Streetfighter, cooking, eating, and travelling whenever he gets the opportunity.

“I’m very into motorcycles. I also like to cook, eat, and travel whenever possible.”

Although Phu is relatively new to the watch world, his interest began growing after seeing more watches among the people around him.

“I’m very new to watches, but I have people around me who have been interested in them, so I started seeing more and more different types of watches.”

His interest became more personal when his brother purchased a Rolex while visiting Japan.

“That was the first time someone very close to me owned a Rolex. From that point on, I became more interested in watches and started studying their history, the different companies and brands, and the actual functions of the watches.”

While learning more about the hobby, Phu came across Wolf Watch Club.

“I thought the concept of what you guys do was very interesting. I looked through the winners on the website and followed the live streams for a few weeks. Then I thought, ‘Maybe I should try it. Why not?’”

Wolf Watch Club was the first watch competition Phu had ever entered. After participating in only a few draws, he received the ultimate birthday surprise.

“After a few tries, I ended up winning the Reverse Panda on my birthday.”

“It was a very big surprise for me. I didn’t expect it at all.”

Because of the time difference, Phu was not watching the draw live. He had been out having dinner and did not discover the news until checking his email the following day.

“I checked my email the next day, and that’s when I saw the message.”

At first, Phu only shared the incredible news with his wife. The win may now be the moment that officially begins his journey as a watch collector.

“I think it could be one of the things that encourages me to get more into watches and start collecting.”

“I’ve also been looking at other brands, not only Rolex, to see how I can start getting into this hobby.”

The timing could not have been more special. The draw took place around Father’s Day and directly on Phu’s birthday, June 21.

“It was around Father’s Day as well, and my birthday is on the 21st. It was almost the exact same day, so maybe it was meant to be.”

The Daytona may also arrive in time for another important occasion: an upcoming wedding.

“Hopefully, I’ll receive it in time for the wedding so I can wear it there.”

As a new player, Phu said he felt comfortable entering Wolf Watch Club from the beginning.

“The website looked legitimate, and I didn’t really have any doubts.”

“It was very easy to get started. The ticket prices were not too high, so it didn’t feel too risky to try it and see what happened.”

He also enjoyed the atmosphere of the live draws and the interaction between the host and the community.

“The interaction during the live sessions is great. The host is amazing and very entertaining to listen to.”

From discovering Wolf Watch Club only weeks earlier to winning one of the world’s most iconic watches on his birthday, Phu could not have asked for a better introduction to watch collecting.

A birthday, Father’s Day, an upcoming wedding, and a Rolex Daytona “Reverse Panda”..it truly felt like everything aligned at exactly the right time.

For Marc Buccini, winning an Omega Speedmaster was completely unexpected.

“It was very surprising that I won. I think it was only my third draw.”

Marc is 39 years old and lives in Orlando, Florida, with his fiancée and their two children, ages 16 and 15. He has spent most of his life working in the restaurant industry, beginning when he was just 14 years old and eventually becoming a general manager.

Although Marc had always appreciated watches, his passion for collecting only began to take off within the last six months.

“Growing up, I always kind of liked watches. My grandfather and father had some, and I always appreciated them.”

After wearing an Apple Watch for several years, something changed. Marc caught the watch bug and began immersing himself in the hobby.

“I don’t know what gave me the bug, but I just started becoming obsessed with watches.”

He purchased his first mechanical watch and quickly became hooked on learning more.

“I got to watching YouTube videos, researching watches, and really learning a lot about them.”

Marc’s growing collection also includes a watch passed down to him by his grandfather, who passed away several years ago. That sentimental piece made his collection deeply personal, and the Speedmaster would now become his third watch and his first true luxury timepiece.

When Marc discovered Wolf Watch Club, the experience immediately stood out from other watch competitions he had seen.

“Yours just seemed the most legitimate.”

“It was the most transparent, the most user-friendly, and honestly, it looked like it had the best odds.”

Marc was not watching the live draw when his name was announced. Like most players, he never expected to win.

“You don’t really think that you’re going to win.”

About an hour after the draw, Marc was standing in line at the grocery store when he remembered to check the results.

“I was picking up some groceries, and while I was standing in line, I thought, ‘Oh yeah, the draw just happened. Let me check.’ I went on the website, and it showed my name.”

“I was like, ‘Oh, this is crazy.’”

The timing made the win even more meaningful. It happened on Father’s Day while Marc’s in-laws were visiting his family.

“It was Father’s Day, which was great timing and made the watch even more special. Not only was it my first luxury watch, but it was also such an iconic watch, being the Speedmaster.”

Marc rushed home to share the news. His family gathered around the television and watched the recorded draw together, reliving the moment his name was announced.

“It was crazy. We just couldn’t believe it.”

The Speedmaster also carried a special connection between Marc and his son.

Only a few weeks earlier, on Mother’s Day, Marc and his son had visited several luxury watch boutiques while shopping at a high-end mall. Marc showed him different watches, explained their histories, and eventually took him into the Omega boutique.

“We went into the Omega store, and I said, ‘This watch is the coolest watch.’ I told him all about its history.”

Marc also showed his son a MoonSwatch, which he tried on and liked. When Marc later called him downstairs to announce the win, his son initially thought he had won the Swatch.

“I said, ‘No, no. I won the real one.’”

The realization made the moment even more exciting. It was the same iconic watch they had admired and learned about together only weeks earlier.

“He was really excited because it was something we had just bonded over on Mother’s Day. I had been showing him the watch and telling him about it.”

“It all just kind of came full circle. All the pieces came together, so I’m just so happy with this watch.”

From discovering watches only months earlier to winning one of the most historically significant timepieces ever made, Marc’s journey came together in an unforgettable way.

For Mitchell Montgomery, winning the Rolex GMT-Master II “Pepsi” on June 14 was a surprise he still could not quite believe.

Mitchell is from North Texas, where he grew up in a ranching family. He remains involved in the family’s cattle ranch, as well as businesses connected to hunting and outfitting.

Hunting and fishing have been part of Mitchell’s life since childhood and remain two of his main interests. He also enjoys spending time with his family, many of whom live in different places on the ranch.

“We all kind of live out on the ranch in different spots,” Mitchell said. “We’re out in the country, in the middle of nowhere.”

Mitchell’s interest in watches began with his grandfather, who wore a gold Rolex Datejust for as long as Mitchell could remember.

“I always thought it was a cool watch and always wanted one,” he said.

When Mitchell graduated from college, he asked his parents for a special watch. They gave him a TAG Heuer, which became the first significant watch he owned. As he got older, he continued following watches and added a handful of pieces to his collection.

Mitchell discovered Wolf Watch Club through Instagram. Before entering, he looked into the Club and explored the website. Learning that a portion of the proceeds supported charities and charitable causes helped give him confidence in the platform.

The Rolex GMT-Master II “Pepsi” competition was Mitchell’s third draw with Wolf Watch Club.

Mitchell was not watching the live draw when his name was selected. He and his wife have two young daughters, one of whom was turning two the following day, while the other was approaching her first birthday. The family had celebrated both birthdays the day before the draw, and Mitchell was busy with the children on Sunday.

He briefly noticed that the draw was approaching but was unable to watch it live.

Later that evening, Mitchell was having dinner at his brother’s house when something about the draw appeared on his social media feed. Realizing it had already taken place, he visited the Wolf Watch Club website and found the winners page.

His name was listed as the winner.

“I was like, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me,’” Mitchell recalled.

Mitchell was surrounded by family when he discovered the news and immediately told them that he had won a Rolex. Everyone was just as shocked as he was.

The timing also made the win especially memorable, as it came shortly before Father’s Day.

For Mitchell, the Rolex GMT-Master II “Pepsi” will not be a watch that he sells.

“It’s definitely going to be an heirloom watch for sure,” he said. “I’m never going to resell it or get rid of it. It’s going to be passed down to somebody.”

Mitchell explained that although purchasing the watch would have been exciting, winning it gave the timepiece an even more meaningful story.

“Winning it is even more crazy,” he said. “It has a cool story behind it now.”

Mitchell also appreciated that Wolf Watch Club draws take place as scheduled every Sunday, whether or not every available ticket has been sold. He said that this was different from many other competitions he had seen, where draws could be delayed if all the spots were not filled.

After his win, Mitchell shared Wolf Watch Club with several friends and sent them the website. Some of them have since entered draws of their own.

After only three draws, Mitchell became the winner of a Rolex GMT-Master II “Pepsi” that he plans to keep in his family and eventually pass down, along with the unexpected story of how he won it.

Born and raised in Sweden, Toby moved to the United States in 2009 and eventually settled in Fargo, North Dakota.

These days, life revolves around family, work, and two hobbies he is especially passionate about: watches and whiskey.

Like many enthusiasts, Toby’s interest in watches did not begin with luxury timepieces.

For years, he wore a smartwatch before deciding he wanted something with a little more character.

“I got tired of wearing a smartwatch,” he said.

About two years ago, he began exploring the world of mechanical watches, starting with microbrands and discovering just how much enjoyment came from wearing something thoughtfully made.

“I think a beautiful watch is the one piece of jewelry a man can wear that doesn’t stick out too much.”

That passion only grew.

For his 50th birthday, Toby’s wife surprised him with his very first luxury watch, a Rolex Datejust.

“It gives you that little extra spark.”

Since then, he has immersed himself in the hobby, following watch pages online and learning everything he could. His favorite brands quickly became Rolex, IWC, and Cartier, with Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe sitting high on his dream list.

Then came Wolf Watch Club.

Like many first time players, Toby admits he was skeptical.

Working in financial crimes and fraud investigations, he naturally approached everything with caution. He researched multiple watch competition companies, read reviews, checked Reddit, and watched previous winners before deciding Wolf Watch Club was the one he trusted.

His first draw was the Rolex Submariner “Starbucks.”

His second was the IWC Ingenieur Winner’s Choice.

He was not able to watch the live draw because of family commitments, but later that evening he remembered to check the results.

“I still couldn’t believe it.”

After looking over all four dial options, Toby chose the blue Ingenieur.

“It came down to the blue or the aqua, but I think the blue goes with a lot more things.”

The win now means he owns watches from two of his favorite brands, Rolex and IWC.

Perhaps the most refreshing part of Toby’s story is why he plays.

“I’m not trying to win a watch so I can sell it,” he said. “I want to win something that I’ll enjoy.”

That philosophy made the Ingenieur the perfect prize.

And while he has already crossed one grail off his list, Toby is not finished just yet.

The Rolex Submariner “Starbucks” and the GMT Master II “Bruce Wayne” are still firmly on his wish list. After seeing his name called once, he is convinced anything is possible.

As for those dream APs and Pateks?

“Who knows? Maybe with Wolf Watch Club one day they’ll be mine.”

For Chris Gieckel, watches were never supposed to become a hobby.

That all changed because of a coworker.

Working in the restaurant industry, Chris watched his friend Adam show up wearing a different watch almost every shift. Before long, Adam was even building his own watches from individual parts.

“I really blame my friend Adam,” Chris laughed.

While Chris admits he could never build one himself, Adam’s passion sparked his own interest in watches. He began researching different brands online, and before long social media started showing him ads for Wolf Watch Club.

Like many first time players, Chris was skeptical.

“I’ll give it a shot for thirty bucks.”

His first draw was the Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Classic. Over the following months, he entered selectively, choosing watches that genuinely caught his eye. By the time the Rolex Submariner Date “Starbucks” came around, it was his ninth draw with Wolf Watch Club.

This time, he entered with just one ticket.

Chris was watching the live draw when RandomDraws selected the winner.

“I saw the first name was Chris. I was like, that can’t be me.”

A few seconds later, Jory read out his full name.

“I couldn’t believe it.”

Ironically, one of the biggest surprises was hearing someone pronounce his last name correctly.

“I’ve been alive more than forty years and no one has ever said my last name right the first time.”

The first person Chris told was Adam.

“I sent him a picture and said, ‘You’re never going to guess.’ He lost his mind.”

For Chris, watches have become much more than something to wear. One of the most meaningful parts of his collection came from his grandfather, who spent forty years with the New York Police Department. Every promotion came with a new watch, each one engraved on the caseback. Today, those watches remind Chris of his grandfather’s career and the milestones he achieved.

Outside of watches, Chris loves to travel, especially anywhere with great food. Having worked in restaurants for years, he jokes that he has been “traveling on my stomach.” For the past ten years, he and his twin brother have celebrated their birthdays by taking a trip together. One of their favorites was spending three weeks exploring New Zealand.

When asked what kept him coming back after not winning right away, Chris kept it simple.

“The price was right. It was low risk.”

He also believes Wolf Watch Club offers something many enthusiasts never expect to own.

“I don’t think in my lifetime I would ever be able to afford a Rolex.”

After nine draws, that dream became reality.

One ticket.

Nine draws.

One unforgettable moment.

Congratulations again, Chris, on winning the Rolex Submariner Date “Starbucks.” Thank you for being part of the Wolf Pack. We hope you wear it in good health for many years to come.

Some winners hear their name called and immediately know what’s happening.

James Potter almost missed it.

On the day of the Rolex Daytona draw, James was at his in-laws’ house enjoying a family barbecue. Between spending time with family and the excitement of the day, the live draw wasn’t exactly at the front of his mind.

“I got in at the very end, right before he did the draw.”

As he joined the livestream, Jory made a joke about Harry Potter.

For James, that wasn’t unusual.

“My name is James Potter. If you’ve ever read the Harry Potter books, James Potter is Harry Potter’s dad.”

At first, he assumed Jory was simply having a bit of fun after noticing him enter the stream.

“I thought maybe he was just welcoming me because he saw me come in.”

But that wasn’t what was happening at all.

Jory wasn’t welcoming him.

He was announcing him as the winner.

“He had actually called my name because I won.”

Even now, James still struggles to describe the feeling.

“It was so surreal.”

The victory was especially remarkable because James won one of Wolf Watch Club’s largest Rolex draws ever with just three tickets.

Three tickets.

One Rolex Daytona.

When we spoke afterward, James was still trying to process it.

“I couldn’t believe it.”

The first people he shared the news with were the people around him that day.

His wife.

His family.

His in-laws.

And then his friends.

One of them had become part of the story weeks earlier.

James had recently met a coworker who also happened to be a watch enthusiast. After discovering their shared interest, James introduced him to Wolf Watch Club.

Before the Daytona draw, the two exchanged some friendly trash talk.

“I sent him a chat and said, ‘Hey, wish me luck for the Daytona draw this weekend.’”

“He said, ‘No way. I’m winning that. I’m not wishing you luck.’”

A few days later, James got to send the message every watch enthusiast dreams of sending.

“Dude, were you on the live draw? Did you see what happened to me?”

His friend hadn’t watched.

So James delivered the news himself.

“I just won.”

For James, the Daytona wasn’t just another watch.

Watches have been part of his life for decades.

His journey began with a Star Wars watch in elementary school.

“It had Han Solo and Princess Leia on it.”

Then came a yellow Casio G-Shock in high school.

“I wore that thing for five or six years. I wore it everywhere.”

Over time, his collection evolved through Seikos, Citizens, sports watches, Garmin models, and eventually his first luxury watch: a Rolex Explorer II.

James still remembers buying it after a career milestone.

“That was my first luxury watch.”

Years later, following a divorce, he had to sell it.

But his love for watches never left.

Today his collection includes several Seikos, independent brands, sports watches, and now one of the most sought-after watches in the world… a Rolex Daytona.

What makes James’s story even more relatable is that he never expected to own one.

“I personally was like, ‘I’ll never have this watch.’”

Not because he didn’t appreciate it.

Because, like many enthusiasts, he saw it as unattainable.

“I couldn’t afford it.”

“And I wouldn’t wait five years for it.”

That’s part of what drew him to Wolf Watch Club in the first place.

James discovered Wolf while watching watch content on YouTube.

“YouTube learns what you’re interested in.”

“If it’s not giving me pickleball videos, it’s giving me watch videos.”

One day, Wolf Watch Club appeared on his radar.

“I was like, ‘Wait a second. You can buy a ticket and be in it for a watch?’”

Before long, he was entering selectively, choosing watches that genuinely interested him.

Rolex.

Tudor.

Omega.

The pieces that told a story.

Over time, he entered 12 draws.

When asked why he kept coming back, his answer was simple.

“The hope and excitement of winning a watch.”

And for James, watches are more than objects.

They’re milestones.

Memories.

Stories.

“I love watches that tell a story.”

That perspective extends beyond watches as well.

James lives in Scottsdale, Arizona, works in IT consulting, enjoys pickleball, hiking, travel, and spending time with his church community.

He has hiked the Grand Canyon multiple times.

He and his wife spent four weeks exploring Italy during a sabbatical.

And next on the travel list are Banff, Aruba, and Jamaica.

But despite all those adventures, hearing his name called for the Daytona ranks among the most memorable moments.

As a man of faith, James views the win through a different lens.

“I’m a strong Christian.”

“I have no doubt that this is the Lord’s blessing.”

When he thinks about the odds, it still takes his breath away.

“You buy three tickets and actually win? It just takes my breath away.”

Today, James has a Rolex Daytona on the way.

The watch he never expected to own.

The watch he thought was out of reach.

The watch that turned a family barbecue into a day he’ll never forget.

And if you ask him whether Wolf Watch Club is real?

His answer is straightforward.

“For somebody who’s into watches, it’s an opportunity to try to win something for a relatively small investment.”

You can’t win if you’re not in it.

James bought three tickets.

And walked away with a Rolex Daytona.

Some wins happen on a first try.

Others come after months of showing up, staying patient, and believing your turn will eventually come.

For Guillermo Velarde, it was the second path.

Originally from Peru, Guillermo moved to Canada more than 20 years ago before eventually relocating to the United States for work.

“I was born in Peru and migrated to Canada 20 years ago, the last 10 in the US, always for work.”

Today, work keeps him moving.

“I travel a lot for work.”

When he’s not on the road, he enjoys following tennis, although he admits he doesn’t get to play as often as he’d like.

Like many Wolf Watch Club members, Guillermo didn’t discover the platform through social media or YouTube.

He found it while researching watches online.

“By Googling my last watch, Wolf and other similar sites started to show up.”

Before entering, he took the time to do his homework.

“I did my research prior to participating the first time by verifying your website, reviews, etc.”

After deciding to give Wolf Watch Club a try, Guillermo became one of those familiar names that kept appearing week after week.

Draw after draw, he kept showing up.

He kept entering.

And he kept believing his turn would come.

Then one Sunday, it finally did.

Guillermo was selected as the winner of the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch.

His reaction?

“Extremely happy as I was trying for several months.”

For someone who had been consistently supporting Wolf Watch Club and participating draw after draw, the win felt especially rewarding.

While Guillermo doesn’t consider himself a serious watch collector, watches have always been something he’s appreciated.

“Not really a collector, but I do have some.”

His collection already included a Rolex and a Breitling before adding the Speedmaster.

But winning one of the most iconic watches ever made may have changed things.

“Maybe with this one I’m now a collector.”

The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch is a watch with a story unlike any other, a watch worn during NASA missions and forever connected to space exploration.

For Guillermo, it also represents patience paying off.

He sees it as an opportunity for watch enthusiasts who might not otherwise have access to these kinds of timepieces.

“I think it is a good opportunity for people that want to give it a try.”

And for anyone who is considering entering Wolf Watch Club for the first time, Guillermo’s advice comes from experience.

After months of entering before finally hearing his name called, he understands better than most that patience matters.

“Give it a try, don’t despair and be patient.”

Congratulations again to Guillermo Velarde, winner of the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch White Dial. 

After months of showing up, supporting Wolf Watch Club, and believing his turn would come, Guillermo’s patience paid off!

For Don Off, watches have never just been about watches.

They’re about memories, milestones, and one day passing something special on to his two sons.

Don has been a watch enthusiast for more than 20 years. A Rolex was the watch that started it all, and over time his appreciation for watches only grew stronger.

A few years ago, he found himself diving back into the hobby.

“I really started getting back into watches. For some reason it just clicked.”

What followed was familiar to many collectors: countless hours spent researching references, watching reviews, and learning about the watches he admired.

“I bought a couple more. Started watching watch videos quite a bit, just researching stuff.”

Eventually, that search led him to Wolf Watch Club.

After doing his research, he decided to give it a try.

What he didn’t expect was that the Sunday live draw would become part of his weekly routine.

“Every Sunday became part of what I did.”

As the weekend wound down, Don would make dinner, get ready for the upcoming work week, and tune into the live draw.

“I’d make dinner or whatever and get everything ready for the next week.”

Week after week, he kept showing up.

“Jory does a great job. It’s enjoyable to watch.”

In fact, it became something he genuinely looked forward to.

“I look forward to it every week.”

Then came the night every player dreams about.

After participating in more than 30 draws, Don was watching live when Jory called his name as the winner of the Rolex GMT-Master II “Batgirl.”

“Talk about exciting when he actually called out your name.”

Then there were his two sons.

As soon as they heard about the Rolex, Don jokingly realized he had created a new problem.

“I’ve got two boys.”

Then he laughed.

“Something to fight over.”

A few days later, something remarkable happened.

While at work, Don noticed an email arrive in his inbox.

“I saw an email pop up.”

He opened it and discovered he had won another Rolex GMT-Master II through a different watch competition company….this time a Batman.

The solution immediately became obvious.

“I called the kids up and said, ‘We have a problem solved.’”

One GMT for each son.

It’s a funny story, but it also reveals something important about why Don loves watches in the first place.

“A big part of why I partake in these competitions is the thought of enjoying the watch for a while and then giving it to my sons.”

“There would be no better feeling to me seeing the enjoyment they would get owning and wearing one as I did as a young man.”

And when it comes to the Rolex Submariner “Hulk,” he already knows exactly which son it belongs to.

“The Hulk is one I definitely could see my youngest wearing and find perfectly suited to his personality.”

That perspective says a lot about Don.

While most people enter hoping to win a watch for themselves, Don is already thinking about the next generation.

The memories.

The stories.

And one day handing those watches to his sons.

When asked whether he’d keep playing after winning the Batgirl, his answer came quickly.

“No, no. I’m going to be in the draws.”

And then he added:

“I’m going to look forward to winning again.”

Congratulations again to Don Off, winner of the Rolex GMT-Master II “Batgirl.”

For Don, the watch is more than a prize. It’s another chapter in a collection that he hopes will one day become part of his family’s story as well.
