I think I was 27. Chose the Milgauss GV over the Submariner. Milgauss is now sold to a good friend. I think if I went with the Sub I would still have it.

I was 21 - it was a 1987 Explorer II with black dial.

It replaced my Omega Seamaster. I've been a Rolex devotee ever since and not given another brand a second look.
