I was wondering if yall would share how old you were when you received your first Rolex and what was the occasion, if any at all!?

If you still have your first Rolex, share a picture of it today!

Thanks!

Hi,

I was 26. It was a Datejust in yellow Rolesor on a Jubilee bracelet. I'd had getting a Rolex in mind for quite a while, and I'd got to the point where I was in a good enough job with enough saved to go ahead and spend the money to do it - so I did. And thus began the addiction...

Bought mine at 25, a couple months after proposing to my now wife. I told myself it was my engagement present.

27. Sub C, after debating between that and the DSSD. Getting ready to trade it for a 114060.

Mine was a Rolex 16610 that my parents bought me when I graduated medical school. They promised me a Rolex if I ever became a doctor at age 7. I made good and held them to it.

26, Sub ND, got a nice bonus that year. I still have it and wear it almost every day.
