I was exactly 401 days younger than I am today.

DJ OG · 28 June 2022, 12:26 AM

23, grad present. Only nice watch I own. Since then I have bought 5 new Rolex’s, all as gifts. One for wife as anniversary gift, three kids grad / wedding presents, one for a friend. Keep saying it’s my turn again but not sure I would buy another Rolex anytime soon.

Wee-Willie · 28 June 2022, 06:15 AM

Dang..some of Ya'll got great Graduation presents from your parents!! I got a Seiko for my graduation way back in 1977, but, luckily, I didn't know about Rolex back then.

pursang_ · 28 June 2022, 06:21 AM

In 1986, I was 26.

Gladiat0r · 28 June 2022, 01:16 PM

One of my goals was to have a Rolex before I turned 30…so I got a Daytona TT and Sub Date together at 29.

Third_coast · 28 June 2022, 01:18 PM

I was 26. A Polar EXP II

mzcool · 28 June 2022, 01:27 PM

22. A SS DJ36 as a graduation gift. And just paired it up 3 years later with a Sub Date.

JEAJ · 28 June 2022, 01:33 PM

I was 40 years old, YG DD Bark. I truly loved that watch, however, unfortunately because of a divorce I sold it. In retrospect it worked out fine. If I would have kept it, every time I looked at it, I would be reminded of a low point in my life. I now have a RG DD, and it’s a happy watch. So it all worked out for the best.

MRBolton · 28 June 2022, 02:07 PM

22. Rolex Cellini 5115/8 from 2005.

domo69 · 28 June 2022, 02:15 PM

Jan,1996 I was 26 and I still have it.

48 years with my first Submariner.

Smurf_75 · 28 June 2022, 05:33 PM

Got my pre owned 16610 in 2011. It's on my wrist today and gets the most wear. I properly love this watch. I'm now 47 (and a half).

I was 27 as a present for grad school graduation. Wore if for a decade plus, then put it away. Still have it but don’t wear it (TT DJ, champagne dial). Then in 40s got other pieces - some Rolex and some not. Wore and Apple Watch inbetween.

dstephns · 5 August 2022, 10:41 AM

1680. I was 28 1978 and still have it today. Saw me through many forest fires with the U.S. Forest Service. Got pretty beat up so I had the RSC swap the dial, hands and bracelet in the 1990s. I will never sell it. Shares wrist time with my 16610 now.

prw · 5 August 2022, 10:57 AM

I was 29 & celebrating getting a much higher paying job. The 14060 I think was $2800.
