No need for that.

I was two and worked hard for a year before getting it.

TheRolexKingofLV · 26 February 2018, 01:28 AM

I was 19...36mm DJ with a grey Tapestry Dial, on a Jubilee...that was 33years ago.

I still own the watch.

Quailhunter · 26 February 2018, 01:34 AM

Mid 30s. DateJust. It didn’t have the quickest feature. Had to wind forever to set the date. I traded it in on a DayDate. Ended up buying another DateJust about 9 years ago.

locutus49 · 26 February 2018, 01:34 AM

24, in the army bought TT Datejust from PX for $635 in 1974.

Jim Smyth · 26 February 2018, 01:34 AM

Early 20's and got a Datejust...............its been a long addiction!

Rsubnodate · 26 February 2018, 01:35 AM

I was 23 when I bought a submariner. I wore a breitling superocean before rolex. No need to wait if you can afford it.

22 years old. I bought a 16610 from Overguaard Jewellers (Grant the owner was such a great guy). Sadly like most small ADs, they lost the line.

Ravager135 · 26 February 2018, 01:40 AM

I was 26. I had just graduated medical school and my parents gave me a 16610. Prior to that I didn't really wear a watch.

riverrat · 26 February 2018, 01:42 AM

53. Only bought one because I was tired of my Krieger that had been on my wrist 26 or so years.

jatco · 26 February 2018, 01:44 AM

58. TT DJ
Shortly after joining TRF

PLNYC · 26 February 2018, 01:46 AM

22. Bought a dj36. Couldn’t not take advantage of the gbp since I was visiting London at the time. So much more worth it than buying in the US

kans86 · 26 February 2018, 01:47 AM

Datejust at the age of 29

Tmac478 · 26 February 2018, 01:52 AM

I bought my first Rolex at 54. I've always worn watches but could not see myself spending that kind of coin on a luxury item while I still had a mortgage and dept.
I mostly wore a Raymond Weil watch when dining out and a Tiger Woods Tag Hueur golf watch for casual and golf.

jbullis · 26 February 2018, 01:52 AM
