I have worn my 5513 since August 1967. It has been my constant companion for a 21 year Navy career, and another 20 plus years. I do love my Rolex.

mustangbrad · 25 September 2009, 12:46 PM

But I bought an IWC when I graduated from Medical School.

Jason71 · 25 September 2009, 01:56 PM

Unfortunately, I only decided to start buying Rolexes about 2 years ago. Since then, I have added 5, modified one, and am now on the hunt for 2 more!!!

Speed · 25 September 2009, 02:53 PM

New to me Sub - almost two months...
1960 gold Oyster - a few years, but I never wear it. A friend of my Dad's gave it to him...and he gave it to me.

BXNupe · 26 September 2009, 01:21 PM

TT DJ Thunderbird - since '02
TT Sub - since '04 (gave to my dad)
GMT Pepsi - since '07
Sub LV - 4 weeks
GMT IIc - on the come (may throw outstanding balance on the cc just to get it quicker)

First Rolex was a SS Sub Date purchased pre-loved in '94 - traded it for the Pepsi (regrettable mistake!)

slcbbrown · 27 September 2009, 07:04 AM

Bought mine in 1973, but usually wear my father's 1947 TOG that he got in the late 50's. Gave my rootbeer GMT to my oldest son.

2nd 69 Bubble back
3rd 75 Pres
4th 78 Pres dia dial, bezel, diamond braclet
5th 82 Plat Pres
6th 85 Sea Dweller
6th 87 SS Daytona
7th 92 18 Daytona
8th 97 Plat Masterpiece

still have 4 of them...

Boopie · 27 September 2009, 12:08 PM

I got my Yachtmaster in 2001.

My husband got his Sub last year, from his father; his father obtained the Sub in 1998, and it sat, unworn, in a safe for 10 years. The watch was a 10-year old BNIB watch, with tags and all, when my husband received it.

My mother in law has worn her gold DJ almost daily since the early 1980s (possibly 1982?). Seeing her wear that watch playing tennis, going to the beach, etc. showed me how durable a Rolex was. Up until then I thought a Rolex was just a fancy status symbol watch.

zak98 · 27 September 2009, 09:45 PM

just over a couple years now.

BobMoe · 27 September 2009, 11:51 PM

I have a Model 6542, sn397640. Not sure when I bought it new, probably around 1960. It is a GMT Master without the protective ramps on each side of the stem, and a bakelight bezel--BobMoe--(COILAM@aol.com)
