Bought my first Rolex outright/brand new at 18. Lots of saving and sacking/checking groceries in high school to get it too. A TT Datejust w/jubilee bracelet.

My first Rolex bought new I was 81 yrs Exp 1. Always was interested in Rolex since the 1950's as I was friendly with a Rolex Tech who worked in the Service Dept in Kent UK.
He used to impress me with the tests he used to undertake.
So ever since Rolex watches have much impressed.
I remember him offering to get me new Rolex Oyster for £60. Just couldn't raise the money, it was quite a lot of money in those days. So In the mid 1960's I went skiing in Switzerland(lovely country, civilised people) bought a Certini for about £30 (worth now about £1000 I understand) which I then wore on & off for the next 40 years.
Recently I bought a new SubC with date, black. I alternate with the Exp 1, depending what I am doing. For me the SubC & Exp 1 are a perfect combination!
I do not like buying secondhand goods whether it is a motor or a watch etc for me it has got to be new!
Am clocking up the years now and just hope I have a few more years to go to continue to enjoy my Rolex(s)! Got to keep going!

First nice watch was at 25, but my first rolex was at 27. Now I'm making up for lost time.

34, bought a Breitling Transocean Chronograph when I was 30, though. Should have gone Rolex in the 1st place.
