A 50 year old "youngster" here. Had my Sub about two weeks now, and just received a Coke bezel GMT II today! Lovin' every minute so far!

DSJ · 30 October 2008, 12:45 PM

Goin' on 10 months now. Dreamt of it for over 15 years now!

GradyPhilpott · 30 October 2008, 12:48 PM

About a month.

builtforspeed · 30 October 2008, 12:56 PM

Purchased an AK (black dial with sticks) in May, 1988. I was studying for the Bar exam and decided I needed to treat myself. I spent a little over $900 and immediately worried how I'd ever pay for it if I flunked the Bar. Well, I took the Bar exam with the AK on my wrist, passed, and wore the watch every day for years. I have quite a few more watches now, but that AK is still one of my favorites.

Cheers,

Chris

I wanted a Rolex for many, many years.

Finally bought my first one in 1996.

I had to sell it in 2003

I am lucky to have one again now

I've used Rolex as my timekeeping device for 31 years. First Rolex was an OP Date, the non quickset model, purchased in 1977. I gave it to my uncle in 1986 as a birthday present.
