27 years old (SS Datejust 16220 on a jubilee, which I still have). Bought it to celebrate getting a new job. Started the Rolex journey for me.

I was 36, bought a Datejust 36 TT Jubilee at that time, some years later traded in for DJ 41 TT Jubilee.

65+ and was able to swing a OP Blue dial.
As an aside, I am starting to realize that I am a lot older than most on here. I went back as far as April this year on this particular thread and my age is older than anybody, at least I didn't see anybody of my age.

25, a blue dial Datejust. I used it for twenty years and then gave it to my son. Those were the days of being happy with just one watch!

The wife bought me a Sub date for my 29th birthday in 1980. I think she paid around $700. Absolutely the best way to receive a new Rolex!
