How old were you when you got your first Rolex?
And what was the watch you were wearing before Rolex?

Mid 30s. DateJust. It didn’t have the quickest feature. Had to wind forever to set the date. I traded it in on a DayDate. Ended up buying another DateJust about 9 years ago.

22 years old. I bought a 16610 from Overguaard Jewellers (Grant the owner was such a great guy). Sadly like most small ADs, they lost the line.

I was 26. I had just graduated medical school and my parents gave me a 16610. Prior to that I didn't really wear a watch.

22. Bought a dj36. Couldn’t not take advantage of the gbp since I was visiting London at the time. So much more worth it than buying in the US

I bought my first Rolex at 54. I've always worn watches but could not see myself spending that kind of coin on a luxury item while I still had a mortgage and dept.
I mostly wore a Raymond Weil watch when dining out and a Tiger Woods Tag Hueur golf watch for casual and golf. |
