That's obvious 42.

Which happens to be close to when I got my first Patek. 5165 - the most comfortable and understated watch I ever owned.

Kind of like getting Ferrari for a first car. It may spoil the thrill of getting something known as " the best " for some people. Obviously not for you since your on trf.

Great age !! I miss it for a year

I didn't know better when I was 40; I thought Rolex was the only option, so I bought a DJ with Diamonds !!!! How naive

Financially it would of been better to think Rolex was all , because once you find out.......... Your wallet is never the same
