I was 33 when I got my 116610LN, which was back in the good old days (3 years ago) when one could just walk into an AD and get one.

I was 20. 36mm TT DJ wow that was 21 years ago. I’ll never forget that day when I walked into that AD and just bought it. If I remember correctly I paid about $4200 (I might be wrong) does anyone know what that price was back then?

I was 25 in 1986, purchased a two tone blue sub BNIB for $2600, a rather large purchase for a watch back then, gave it to my son for his high school graduation in 2011, will be picking up Sea Dweller tomorrow to give to him just because of how proud I am of his accomplishments.

I was 23 years old when I got my first Rolex. My father took off his 16013 and handed it to me as a college graduation present. It wasn't until I was 37 that I was first able to by myself a Rolex - a 14060M.

I bought an explorer when I was 20 I’m now 65. My previous watch was an Omega. Just bought three Rolex watches for my grand children Annabelle who is 6, A midsize gold & stainless datejust, Sebastian who is 4 a Submarina date and Rosa who is almost 2 a midsize white gold and stainless midsize with Rosa diamonds. They are all birth year watches.

A day date Tridor would be my all time favourite so it’s next on the list
