29, Submariner. Purchased week before my wife found out she was pregnant... thank God I had already purchased it or it would have been delayed a few years! Now it has an extra special meaning (to me and my son).

He’s 16 now and we’ve been fortunate enough to have added a few to the collection.

22, I was working for Rolex Atlanta, my manager “made me buy” a Rolex 6239 Paul Newman
Panda dial - I bought at cost - made weekly payments $20 for 9 weeks
My watch before that was a high school graduation gift a 1964 Seiko Motorist Diashock

I was 30 and before that I had movado and other watches in that range. I'm 37 now and have 3 Rolex in total, my 3 older watches (movado, Gucci, etc).

I believe my collection ends here. But I can see myself adding a dress watch and maybe a gold watch if my budget changes in the future!

Technically 29, but for my 30th birthday, about 2 weeks ago.

Found a Pepsi GMT, bought it. Unfortunately, while it was for my 30th a couple of months from now, I am celebrating early because I can't take it off!

Mperry10 · 23 February 2020, 07:38 AM

Have just got my first Rolex at the age of 56. Up to now too many other priorities.
The watch I was wearing immediately before was a Speedmaster Moonwatch but only got that in the past year whilst waiting for my Rolex. Before that I was wearing a Sekonda.

34 - My first Rolex was a GMT Master II - 16718 in 18k. I previously wore an Omega Speedmaster Professional and Omega Speedmaster in 18k. What a blessing!

20 years old, a black dial Milgauss which I still have. It replaced a Breitling Chronomat Evoloution which was stolen (but luckily insured).

DirtyJohn · 21 March 2020, 03:40 PM

I was about 22 when I got my 14060 for around 2700 EUR :-) Sold it for 4000 EUR and now I feel regret.
