Rolex Submariner Ref 5513. Prior to the sub, numerous Swatch watches (they were insanely popular in Italy during the late 80s)!

I was 26 when I bought a 16610... I had a TT Seiko that I'd rec'd f/ HS graduation (and lost during a night when I'd had a few too many) prior to getting the Sub.

Purchased a GMT as a present to myself for my 35th birthday a few years ago. I had wanted one for about 20 years, but it never seemed like the right time to buy. In hindsight, I should have saved my pennies and bought one back in the 90s when I got my first job. Prior to my GMT I was wearing an Omega Speedmaster.

Continue to wear Omega Speedmaster and Nomos Orion in the collection. Will be on the lookout for something else come October if this promotion comes through. |

How old were you when you got your first Rolex?
22, GMT Master 2 16710 with the Coke bezel. I was wearing an Omega Seamaster and a Breitling Colt Automatic. Still have both watches today.

36. I wish it was earlier, but I had other financial, professional and personal goals to accomplish first. I would do it all the same way if I had it to do over again.

I was 20 when I bought a six month old Air King, that was 27 years ago. After a few years, I sold it and bought a 30-year old two tone datejuat. I still have it and wear it occasionally.
