How old were you when you had your first Rolex?
Just out of curiosity! My first was when I turned 15, got a Cellini as a birthday present.

I think there's already one (if not several) of these 'how old' threads...

49, up until then I was raising family, saving for kids college, had a stay-at-home wife, and building net worth so I never could justify it. Now have one, just bought wife one also.
Now that i look back I probably should have gotten one sooner, but no regrets. |

First Rolex
Always loved watches...
Started collecting in early 20's. Rolex never caught my eye until I was in my mid 30's and the Yachtmaster 2 came out. I then went a little nuts and bought 6 Rollies in about 3 months... 'I know I have a sickness...but I don't want to get better!' :) |

I had other watches, but my first Rolex when I was 29 and it was a TT Rose Gold DJ. Sadly I don't have it anymore, it was sold.
