23 when I bought my first Rolex. Though, I was 21 when I bought my first 'good' watch, a Breguet 5817.

Valhala · 1 April 2018, 11:19 PM

16610 sub at 22... sold soon after as i didnt like how cheap and flimsy the watch felt. Came back to rolex at 30 due to maxi case,ceramic, updated bracelets, now a happy owner of multiple

18, gift from my mom for graduation. Silver Daytona Big Red, always appreciated and cared for it. Didn't realize it's value until recently. I don't think my mom realized it would turn this valuable either.

65, purchased a 16233 TT DJ as a self bought retirement gift. Went on to get a 16570 Explorer II Polar at age 66 as a second retirement gift (also got a Tudor BBB and GS Quartz- retirement is a great excuse to buy a mini rotation of watches).

Jerz616 · 2 April 2018, 07:03 AM

Bought my first one when I was 27. A used Datejust from the early 80’s. I’m now 43 and just bought my first brand new one from a local AD. One I have been wanting for 20years, a polar expII.

Houston77 · 2 April 2018, 07:04 AM

32 I think -- 1980s DateJust. Christmas present from my wife.

marcellomatt5 · 2 April 2018, 07:11 AM

24, rolex sub 16610.

Nelsjay · 2 April 2018, 07:16 AM

Received a new TT DJ36 from my wife for my 30th birthday. Prior to that I had only been wearing Timex or plastic watches.

asabet · 2 April 2018, 08:17 AM

27 years old - DJ 16234 - engagement gift from my wife (then fiancee)

Can't remember what watch I wore just prior to that.

lilsweetie · 2 April 2018, 09:22 AM

30 to celebrate my USA citizenship.
Before that I wore St Moritz / momentum watches which I still love as they are waterproof and local (Vancouver BC). Additionally I had a few Michael Kors watches.

MinMay · 2 April 2018, 09:30 AM

24 with a BNIB Dayjust for like $2500

JJK · 2 April 2018, 10:32 AM

Age 34 -explorer 1. Sold it and proceeded to own and flip about 25 or 30 Rolex watches.
Now I’m 53 and have 2 explorer 1s.
Lost a small fortune along the way. Had I held all those 4 and 5 digit refs I could retire tomorrow.

avega357 · 2 April 2018, 11:22 AM

I was 17, was wearing 25 mm pulsar

I know I know, I was 17

Do0ver · 2 April 2018, 11:25 AM

43 and I did it the right way. I purchased an unpolished 1675! Took it back last year to have it resized (lost some weight) and he tried to buy it back for more than I paid him!

Totoro · 2 April 2018, 11:28 AM

25 when I got my first Rolex YM 16622 in 2001, bought a fluted/jubilee DJ36 a year later. Purchased a Deep Sea in 2016. Those are the Rolex.

Started into watches at age 18 with a Tag 2000 series, then the 6000 series 2 years later. Purchased an Omega SM300 at age 27 and an AP15202 age 40, Patek Aquanaut age 41.

Right now, only have the Aquanaut and YM. Miss the AP dearly, adding a 15450 hopefully sooner than later.

zeuloa · 2 April 2018, 11:32 AM

A DJ at 31. Swatch before that.

173rdabn · 2 April 2018, 11:49 AM

I was 23, in the army and bought a used 34 mm OP. Had it for 17 years, wish I still had it.

Beto737 · 2 April 2018, 12:14 PM

20, in my early 40s now

garrett9512 · 2 April 2018, 12:15 PM
