I've thought about this a lot. My first Rolex is special. It's an accomplishment in life. It's important. What about you guys/girls? Would you part with your first Rolex? If you did, do you regret it?

scottschoe · 6 November 2009, 01:33 PM

The first one I bought is long gone...just a way to move onto bigger and better things.

kyle L · 6 November 2009, 01:33 PM

I was thinking the same thing!

Singslinger · 6 November 2009, 01:35 PM

No, it's been with me for 22 years and 3 servicings as I lived in 3 countries.

snowbird · 6 November 2009, 01:36 PM

No, I wouldn't want to.

sbux · 6 November 2009, 01:44 PM

I would sell my first Panerai thou...

OrchidDR · 6 November 2009, 01:47 PM

Still have to BUY my first Rolex and I'm a One Watch Man so the answer would be NO!

Art 1 · 6 November 2009, 01:58 PM

I still have it, haven't worn it in years. I'll probably hang on to it.

Amen brother...I dumped my first PAM too. I would never get rid of my first Rolex. It will be with me forever.

Rob_b · 6 November 2009, 02:08 PM

Me too, my first was from my old man.
Will wear it until my trip to heaven

chillviper · 6 November 2009, 02:12 PM

Nope. They don't make it anymore.

R1@160@alltimes · 6 November 2009, 02:21 PM

I sold my first but I won't sell my Sub as it has tons of sentimental value.

Two Time · 6 November 2009, 02:25 PM

I wanted to and put the money towards and LV, but I decided I would have to be stupid to sell it. I still plan on buying that LV though.

Solo118 · 6 November 2009, 02:30 PM

I would never sell my first, but my 2nd and 3rd are long gone!

Oh yeah and my first Pam is sold off as well

Speed · 6 November 2009, 02:31 PM

No....way.

Kokyuryoku · 6 November 2009, 02:46 PM

For me, my first is a symbol of what I can achieve if I put my mind to it, so no I'd never part with it.

Colnago · 6 November 2009, 02:48 PM

No way either.....in fact I never buy to sell in the future....I am not saying I wouldn't sell a watch if I really had to to make ends meet......but the first one....nah....I just couldn't bring myself to.....it's never let me down so why should I let it down....

bodybump · 6 November 2009, 02:50 PM

I would...that only tells me that i moved one more step higher...

sea-dweller · 6 November 2009, 02:56 PM

That's a great question you posed. My first (and I still own) is a 14060, purchased in Feb 1994 at a Hong Kong AD. I wear it about 10-12 times a year, but would never sell it (sentimental reasons).

metal man · 6 November 2009, 02:56 PM

No way. I hope it will travel through the family long after I'm gone. Purchased when I was 19, my sixteen year old son has grown quite attached to it. And yes, he has the fliction !!!!!! He can spot a midsize datejust at 100 paces.

carbon6 · 6 November 2009, 03:00 PM

No. Like most of you said, it's a level of achievement and/or sentimental reasons.

Jet · 6 November 2009, 03:54 PM

Never!

Z-Sub · 6 November 2009, 03:55 PM

No, not now. It has sentimental value and we'll see how long that last

greekbum · 6 November 2009, 04:00 PM

I have had my GMT for 25 years now and wear it daily. I have never thought about selling it or putting it in a drawer

I will wear it until I stop ticking or it stops ticking

Cocobaci · 6 November 2009, 04:41 PM

Would you sell your first born?

JJ Irani · 6 November 2009, 04:44 PM

Bought my very first Rolex (a TT DJ 16013) way back in Oct. 1980.

Used it for 10 long years and then sold it in 1990 for a new GMT-II on Jubilee, and now 24 Rolex models later, I'm still a happy chappy!!

Black Bay Dan · 6 November 2009, 05:05 PM

No way would I part with my Air-King after 31 years! Far to much sentimental attachment.
