Never received a Rolex as present.....

It was in the summer of 1987 I was seven, ten years past and I was 17, add another 20 means 37 so take away 12 leaves 25 and that was not it either, add a couple, bought a dog thats daft, moved house, changed my car several times and then became 27! 27 is when i bought my 1st Rolex

Equinox talking rubbish and is not even p***ed but I was 27

I bought it for this year (2008) in which I will celebrate my 40th birthday and my 20th year at the same company!

What a coincidence! I'll be 39 tomorrow.

Anyway, what is the average?

first rolex

High School graduation, 18 years of age with a 1680 Submariner.
My Father was a saint. And a prophet. He sid it might be the most valuable thing ever handed to me as a gift, and he was just about right.

He had a royal oyster observatory from when he did work during the war that he really sdmired, that is mine now as well.

Regards, Tom
