21. Always a reader and happy I finally made an account. 2019 has been good to me, 126600 in sept and a 126711CHNR last weekend. Establishing a relationship with my AD is going well

I bought my first Rolex in 1988, when I was 26. It was the 16310
Coke-bottle GMT Master II with the Jubilee bracelet. At that time
in Toronto, one would *never* see the "sport" watches on Jubilee
bracelets -- always the Oyster.

I still have that watch, have it serviced at RWC every 5-10 years
but wear it only occasionally. I should probably sell it.

I was 15 I it was a used AirKing, on an after market strap. I later found a deal on a TT Oyster bracelet, that I purchased and installed which brought it back to its former glory.

Rocky2020 · 25 January 2020, 02:47 AM

30. Sub no-date two-liner (14060). Still have it.

Joe_Row · 25 January 2020, 02:52 AM

26 - Got my first Rolex on Saturday and im loving every second of it.

Rolex Explorer 214270

ras47 · 25 January 2020, 03:01 AM

51 or 52. It wasn't a special occasion - I just decided to get a DSSD. Wore it twice, didn't like the dimensions, and put it away in it's box for a couple years.

I fell in love rather suddenly with Speedmasters and picked one up. I had always been a Seamaster guy but the Speedy bug bit me hard and without warning. The gratification of getting the Speedmaster must have woken something up inside me and it was immediately time to to secure my grail watch, the one I'd been dithering about for decades. That's the GMT Master BLRO, 5-digit. I decided on the GMT II and traded the DSSD for a super clean P-serial 16710. Never looked back!

GrandCanyon · 25 January 2020, 03:27 AM

I was 34 purchased a new 16750 with a black insert. Still own it 38 years later.

frequentflyer · 25 January 2020, 03:38 AM

I was 14. It was a 16610, my brother still has it to this day!

Doc Savage · 25 January 2020, 03:54 AM

I came VERY close to buying a SS Sub when I was 21 and unmarried. As it happened, I bought it at 37.

ByronB · 25 January 2020, 03:58 AM

17. It was a pre-owned two tone datejust with a black face. I got it as a high school graduation present from my parents. I had asked for either a Rolex or a credit card to go off to college with. They (wisely!) opted for the Rolex because they said the watch they only had to pay for once, but a credit card would have cost them money every month indefinitely!

Axshank · 25 January 2020, 04:03 AM

Right after my 25th birthday. DJ 36 126234 in black.
Those two years of 50-60 hour work weeks finally paid off.

Dsmith1974 · 25 January 2020, 04:24 AM

Late to the party 43 or 44. GS and Omega before that.

franktehtank · 25 January 2020, 04:28 AM

Wore Tudor/Omega/Breitling before that. Only own Tudor and Rolex right now.
