Pretty sure I’m keeping both of them.

Nice! Way to go

My DJ, fluted bezel, going on 8 years. Have both a jubilee and oyster bracelet, it’s a great, great watch.

DoctorA · 7 February 2018, 01:24 PM

I started in the Rolex world last November but I don’t think I would ever part with my first.... the subC

Magwitch · 7 February 2018, 01:26 PM

I've had my 16600 since 2005. Not my first, but the earliest one that I still own. Paid $4,200 and don't plan to sell it.

SkyKing31 · 7 February 2018, 01:28 PM

My grandfather's 1803, Dad's 18038, and his 16013 .. And the first Rolex I bought a 16234

chloebear · 7 February 2018, 03:20 PM

My black Explorer 2 (216570). I've had it for 2 years now and will never part with it.

Quick aside....this is my 900th post.

gmstevenson · 7 February 2018, 04:23 PM

I've had my Datejust since 1993.

HogwldFLTR · 7 February 2018, 04:31 PM

My 14060; not so long as some of these for certain.

Man I love those riveted bracelets. Hope my watch is in the same condition as yours are by the time I've had it that long.

solesman · 7 February 2018, 06:47 PM

114060 for 4 years now. Love it very much.

MonBK · 7 February 2018, 07:00 PM

Bought a DD and a DJ eight days ago.

Which DD and DJ did you get?

fmc000 · 7 February 2018, 08:54 PM

1601 bought in 1977 (by my father, of course). Still with me.

Otto · 7 February 2018, 09:03 PM

Since 2006.

18038 and 16233, both gone.

AndyWatson · 7 February 2018, 09:46 PM

I've had my GMT 16700 for just over 20 years.
It's currently at Rolex UK for it's 20 year service, so no photo.

(No photo of me either as I've aged worse than the watch)

Enicarman · 7 February 2018, 09:54 PM

1979 Datejust bought in 1984 being serviced now.
1959 GMT left to me by a good friend serviced last June.

adawil2002 · 7 February 2018, 11:08 PM

My 16550 Polar Explorer II will always be with me, first and favorite Rolex for 32 years.

16610v · 7 February 2018, 11:13 PM

16610 for 6 years and sold it.

watchwatcher · 8 February 2018, 12:52 AM

Well, I'm probably the worst guy to answer this question.

sirish19 · 8 February 2018, 01:43 AM

Bought my GMT Master II in 2002, my son’s birth year and it is a keeper until I pass it on to him. Bought with black bezel but recently added the Pepsi. Added the Sub last year and I expect it to be a keeper as well.

This is from 2002

And now with the Sub

Worked all summer in 1974 to buy a 1505. Thought the Sub was too big.
It was the first of many and still have it.

daveo5 · 8 February 2018, 01:53 AM

My Sub 14060M COSC non-date from, if I remember, around 2005. When they were first produced by Rolex.

CRM114 · 8 February 2018, 01:54 AM

Rolex; 1675 for 36 years. 16750 for 30.

Oldest; Bulova Astronaut, from my father long before i was old enough to wear it - 54 years

Headshrinker · 8 February 2018, 03:26 AM

I've had my Sub since 1978.

mschipa · 8 February 2018, 03:41 AM

16220. Wife bought it for me on our one year anniversary in 1990. Still wear it every third week in rotation and it is still my favorite over my 16233 white dial roman numeral (that she also bought me for my 40th!).

Tony-GB · 8 February 2018, 03:49 AM

I'll never sell my current Yacht-Master. It's the fourth one I've owned and will keep it forever. My first was in 2002 and my last in 2016.

Houston77 · 8 February 2018, 03:53 AM

My wife gave me a 1980s DateJust for Christmas a few years ago. This watch got me interested in watches in general. I'll probably be buried with it if I don't give it to my son.

kilyung · 8 February 2018, 04:02 AM

Yg 116718ln gmt - 8 years

kepler22 · 8 February 2018, 04:21 AM

15000 Date, which I bought in 1988 and wore it everyday until 2001, when I bought a 16610 Sub.

SubmarinerMan · 8 February 2018, 05:47 AM

I got my 16610 when I was 14 in 2007. My grandfather left me some money after he died. He loved watches and I thought it would be the best way to remember him! Never going to sell it on!
