My 16 year old son saved for the past few years and finally got his first watch. Little back story he loves watches and jewelry and actually wants to become a jeweler. He got a dj36 older style with diamonds. Non factory of course but this is what he wanted. I think it’s pretty cool. He is very proud of it.

He likes to shop at icebox? Is he a member of the crips/bloods?

Nevertheless, congrats to him on his achievement

Congrats to him Danny, to be able to save up that much money and want a watch of all things at that age!

vesnyder · 2 January 2020, 06:44 AM

Good for him! That should get him some dates!

JSolution · 2 January 2020, 06:47 AM

2001jesper · 2 January 2020, 06:52 AM

Kodus for saving that much at a young age and getting what one wants! Hope that he will enjoy the heck out of it

Appreciate that he saved up for it. But a 36mm datejust with aftermarket bezel? For a 16 year old? You couldn’t steer him towards a submariner??

Chewbacca · 2 January 2020, 06:57 AM

Congrats to your son and your parenting skills.

You now share in a great hobby together.

jimcameron · 2 January 2020, 06:59 AM

One of Rolex's most stunning references.

Ssunnylee24 · 2 January 2020, 07:03 AM

How does a 16 year old save up for few years and buy a Rolex?

Let me take a wild guess...working part-time, more during the summer and vacations. And maybe even some OT here and there.

Kid's a go-getter.

He is going places in life.

Thank you

I was going to be more Clint Eastwoody with a reply but you saved me the typing.

That and it’s a Rolex forum. The parents here know people with big lawns to cut and fancy cars to wash.

Not that difficult to make money as a 13-16 year old...….you have to want it, I was flipping baseball cards at that age and doing well(30 years later I still am). Congrats to your son-may he wear it in good health.

Rashid.bk · 2 January 2020, 07:10 AM

Not understanding if this is serious.....but sure.

My daughter started on online store on Etsy making custom bandanas and leashes for dogs at 14 years old was making about $2,000 per month through her own LLC.

Amazing what kids will figure out when you don’t hand them everything they want on a platter and they have to go figure out how life works. At this point she could’ve had a Daytona if that’s what she wanted.

Right. Hell, I ended up paying my last 2 years of high school tuition totalling about $5k (Catholic school) after my parents decided they wanted to send me back to public high school ~35 years ago. I bet I could've bought a brand new Rolex in 1985 for $5k! I wasn't about to transfer back to another school, no way! I had all new friends, so I picked up more hours at my job and paid the tuition on top of my fun money, etc.

Bizcut1 · 2 January 2020, 07:28 AM

Congrats! Go get 'em kid!

Dybala · 2 January 2020, 07:29 AM

Good for him and congratulations to both of you!
