Mind if I ask how? That's quite the accomplishment for 16yo

saving up that summer job money??

Nice job man, honestly. If you did save, roughly 20k, at 16 years old you're very patient and way ahead of the curve. Keep it up.

I had always been a saver, and decided to start buying/selling/trading Vintage watches around 5-6 years ago with what money I had saved. Long story short, after working efficiently and smartly I have been able to become a fairly well known Vintage Rolex dealer which in turn has allowed me to purchase such watches as a 15202ST, and various others ( both modern and vintage).

Very good! Your local newspaper would run a story on you if you wanted the publicity.
