Rolex Submariner No Date

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 competition 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.”
