Age 31 purchased a used DateJust at Tourneau on New York City. From there purchased a 14060, which I traded for a 16610; added a Speedmaster; added a Daytona 116520; traded 16610 for a YG Yachtmaster 16628; added an AP Royal Oak Offshore; added a PP 5711/1A; traded AP Royal Oak Offshore for a DeepSea Blue; added a PP 5146J; added a Tudor Black Bay Red; traded Tudor Black Bay for a SubC No Date; added an AP 15400; sold both PP's and added a RG PAM 043; added a RG Rolex Day Date 228235; added an FP Journe Chronometre Bleu; traded FP Journe for DaytonaC. I'm 34 now and feel pretty good with the current collection but am pondering to add a YG SubC as I recently gifted my SubC. Have to say this whole experience has been fun!

I was 32 (50 now)...I was introduced to a vintage watch repair guy while I was looking for someone to restore 2 older chronographs for me, who also sold watches. I lucked into an awesome Red Sub from him, not really knowing how special it really was...Sadly I flipped that one years ago :( This was long before I became active on this site - I wish I had been better informed. I'd still have that one and the 1675 I flipped shortly thereafter :(

I bought my first Rolex at the age of 32 (November 2016) and since then I've sold that and bought another , sold that and bought another so third time is a charm (I really hope so lmfao.)
