57 years old for Tudor Black Bay Burgundy. My last watch was a quartz Chase-Durer I got at Costco in 2003. Pretty big step up.

Now dreaming of an Explorer II Polar....

I was 45. I bought a TT GMT used from a friend. Beautiful watch. I wore it everyday for 23 yrs. I bought a Black face SS Daytona in 2009 and now wear that everyday. I had the GMT serviced at the RSC in NYC. It looks brand new. I wear that on special occasions.
I love them both.

One week before my 36th I got my first. Before that it was an omega, but mainly an apple watch.

I was 29 and bought a 16610LV for 25% off.

Sigh...times have changed.

15- I got it as a gift from my parents while on vacation in St. Maarten. It was a blue DJ with engine turned bezel and oyster bracelet.

Wore it daily for 15 years and only recently started buying new pieces. I plan to give it to my son when he is old enough.

I was 20.
A used Gmt from a Caddie at Sunningdale Golf Club

Then in 1989 if older members on here remember—- 13% mortgage.
So sold it 1989
Had to sell.

Since then have had another old GMT
New Gmt LN, James Cameron, an old Sub date and my all time favourite- SD43

Will never sell again
