There have been many threads on this but this one never gets old. My first was when I turned 40 (48 now). I thought my wife was going to get me one for my 40th. When i got the polos and ties that morning and realized that was it, I went and took care if it myself!!! My first was a 50th anniversary sub. Late start but trust me...... Ive made up for the late start!!!

I was 21, still in college and it was the first thing I actually worked and saved for. It taught me a valuable lesson and I’m never parting ways with my Explorer :)

I was 63 when I bought my 1st, 2nd and 3rd Rolex.
I'll be 64 when I buy my 4th. Plan to wear them all for awhile, then hand them down to my children.

My goal was to purchase during my 30th revolution on this planet. I had to settle 3 months into my 31st year.

I love this! Polos & ties, haha.
When I got engaged last year, she of course got the ring she wanted. When I realized the "engagement watch" was not happening, I bought a sub and just said it was from her.

36 Milgauss (z blue). First of a long list of second guesses. 25 Watches later...and now 38. Brutal hobby.

It is fair to interpret this graph as the first peak being around the time when folks start settling into a career, and another peak being a mid-life crisis?

Haha!
I was thinking the exact same thing last night!
