I got my first one at 22. If you don’t have credit debt/ student loans it’s a solid purchase.

Sixty-two, business sale gift to myself. Had wanted one for twenty-plus years.

Started with Seiko, then TAG F1's, then a Breitling B1 and a couple more TAG's.

Not my last...

I was 25 when I got my first Rolex. It was a secondary market engine-turned stainless Datejust (ref. 1603), and I still have it three decades later.

21, Milgauss bought back in 2008 (I think)…purchased from a grey, brand new at a discount for $5,050.

Now I’m 34 and have added a few more to the collection, but I wore the Milgauss daily for over a decade, and still rotate it in.

Year was 1986-24 year old recent college grad. Lived in Michigan and my first bonus went to Canada were my dollar went we a little further. My day said I was foolish to spend 1500 on a stainless watch. 10 years after he had his first Rolex, Date Just, LOL. He is long gone, I have the watch, not my style but fun to pull out on his birthday.

How old were you when you got your first Rolex?

I waited till I was old enough 49 for the brand and got a ss gmt pepsi - to fulfill a childhood yearning for it, even though it had a non effective cyclops - unless you look directly at 90 degrees to the reflective crystal.

Then I got a 41mm no date sub - for it’s more simple better design as a daily.

Before that I had a IWC AQ Chrono for ten years.

Next a Zenith defy el primero 21 chrono ..

When I turn 60 I’ll get a ss PP AQ TT.

I was 18. Purchased a GMT Master for $700. $100 down payment, $100 a month until paid.

Previous watch was a Casio World Time.
