This is a great reason and a true eye opener! Hope you enjoy

52. Always found something better (read more important) to spend money on. My wife finally gave me one as a gift to shut me up. Wouldn't recommend everyone wait so long, but I certainly appreciate it now that I have it.

From my late 20s to my late 30s, I have always wanted a Rolex and able to afford one. But i couldn't justify spending that kind of money on a watch. Finally when I reached 40 I bought my first Rolex (and only Rolex for my lifetime). Or so I thought. Now several years later I have a few Rolexes. Damn. I wish I started much earlier.

Received my first as a gift at the age of 27, though I no longer have it (Sub). So when I purchase this Sky Dweller at the tender young age of 36, that will be the first Rolex I've purchased.

Realised it wasn't quite my style and flipped it and have had sports models since.

However I'll ever forget that first DJ

I was 61; the perfect time for me. First was an OP.

I was 34 when I bought the black dial Daytona purely because the dealer had one in the shop while I was there and knew it wasn't easy to get hold of.
I'd owned a few Omegas before that but theres no going back now , Ive got 5 Rolex now and I'll be getting another in a couple of weeks

I was 27 when I bought my 14060 in 1997. Regret till today when I sold it.

[mysticblu999]

After owning Omegas since I was 32 last week at the age of 43 I made the jump to Rolex with the purchase of an all original 1970 Grey Dialed DateJust.
