Watch you were wearing when you picked your first Rolex from AD?

[mikelprz]

Aug. 2006. By circumstance, fortunate to be in Geneva, Switzerland. Walked into Bercherer's, 45 Rue du Rhone, while wearing my Pam 88.
Purchased my Sub Date.

[Heimdall]

Aquanaut

[edisonstar23]

Hamilton Jazzmaster Open Heart, which was my first watch over $500 watch. I still have it for memories.

Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra. Still have it.

[Stew7]

Omega Seamaster Pro 2254. I still probably wear it the most of all my watches.

[1William]

Seiko years ago.

[brandrea]

None, my first watch was a Rolex 16600 in 1992

Fun question. Tag Formula 1.

Seiko SKX 007. The gateway drug.

If I know I'm picking up a new watch I usually wear no watch and wear the new one out of the store.

Tag Heuer twin time

As for attire, I was wearing a t-shirt and jeans as usual.

The watch was a 114270.

I paid cash.

Every time I see a pic like this, I think: "Damn, should have gone 114270 instead of 16570 back in '09, what a classic!"

Nothing on my wrist during my first purchase.

[paxjedi]

I was wearing a white Hanes T-shirt, and a pair of Levis 501 jeans.

(Honestly, I don't recall my underwear but I might have gone commando.)

Thank you! Actually they are both classics.

I was wearing this old Orvis quartz watch, which all of the numbers had fallen off of, when I picked up my BLNR. (my first Rolex)


The AD asked if I wanted to put it in the Rolex box to bring it back home. I still laugh thinking about that!


It is still my go to on days that I am working and don’t want to destroy a watch of any value.

As for attire - blue jeans, work boots, sweatshirt, black dirty Columbia jacket, carrying a hardhat and backpack.

Commando is OK with Levis 501s because of the button fly. I wouldn't try it with a zipper fly, though...

Oris aquis

[dnd2984]

One of my Tags, the SA at AD gave a travel case for my tag that day and wore the Rolex out.

Clothing wise… most likely running shorts and a hoodie. Worn 90% of the time if I don’t go from office.

[Zuger]

Cartier pasha seatimer

[Gerry62]

none...... January 2010

[Doric]

1966 Oysterdate for me, a watch that was much older than me! but the first watch owned. It was cool and understated, though perhaps a touch too small. I was picking up my 36mm Datejust.

[joejet]

Maybe they sold me a watch to get rid of me!




Very Nice!

[Howie]

For me it was an IWC UTC!
