Always thought I'd never be able to stomach spending $10k on a watch. Here I am 4 deep + waitlisted on another.

Half of my live I leaved in the country with totalitarian regime. It was difficult to get the normal life daily never mind luxury items. After immigrating(legally) to USA I was trying to build a family and establish my self. But I always wanted to own Rolex watch which I couldn't afford. So, for me it took time to get my first Rolex at 58 years old six month ago. Now I own three Rolex watches, which eventually goes to my three beautiful children.
