26 purchased a 36mm, Roman numerals white dial DateJust. A couple of years later, SS Submariner Date. Many years later, I’m looking at either the Omega Speedmaster Racing Chronograph white dial on rubber strap. Or a 39mm Rolex white dial OP. Any suggestions on which one. 39mm OP, or the Omega. Thanks.

Quit wearing my Breitling Aerospace the day I bought my Ceramic Submariner in 2017 at the age of 57. Now I own 3.

28. Got one after a month wait following a chance visit to a Rolex boutique. Those were the days! Before that I wore lots of different things: Nomos Metro, Speedy, BB36, Tudor Sub...

25 I believe.....bought a black Sub. Had a Cartier Roadster Chronograph XL with diamonds on the bezel before that. My taste has definitely changed after 15 years LOL.

How old were you when you got your first Rolex?

35. A new MilgaussGV from AD.

Have bought another 14 Rolex watches from ADs since.

Either 33 or 34 with first Rolex - 6 digit sub date. Had a few Panerais prior to that. Nixons before.

Now just a downward spiral. Way too addictive.
