My case is 38 after long internal debate. But immediately after bought one (sub-c date), I realized that should have done it earlier.

I was 27 (10 years ago) when I bought my first Sub.

My wife bought me mine for my 40th birthday.

adawil2002 · 3 October 2016, 08:24 AM

I was 17, bought it myself while working at a restaurant in high school 31 years ago.

30 for me.

Muzz · 3 October 2016, 08:43 AM

22/23 it was right around there. It was a red lettered sub that unfortunately I no longer own. I will track one down eventually and add it to the collection.

DCheeta · 3 October 2016, 08:48 AM

24. It was a 14060, which I still have.

Eric83 · 3 October 2016, 08:48 AM

33, would have been 23 if I had a more level head. Walked into a dealer with $4500 cash to purchase my first no date sub. The sales person wouldn't even open the case for me unless I handed over my drivers license and credit card. I was so upset I walked out... Now the no date sub retails for $7500, haha.... Oh well, I waited 10 years and owned a few nice watches in between that time frame, but now I have my EXP II

Fifty-eight years old and not a moment too soon.

I'm a late watch bloomer. The first watch I got was:

Mickey Mouse at 5, then
18kt Geneve at 38
Omega SMP 300 @ 40
Rolex BLNR at 50
Rolex 116618 @ 52
Rolex Yachtmaster 268655 (wife) @??

And fortunately, even though I traded the SMP, I got it back and have all of the above
