Bought my first Rolex at 18. A two tone Datejust on Jubilee. At the time, I thought it was the most amazing watch on the planet. In many regards, I still do.

My first Rolex was a 36 mm Datejust with blue stick dial that I bought at AH Riise on the island of St. Thomas when I was 68. I tired of the blue dial after a couple years and traded it toward a 36 mm RG/SS DJ for my wife. She still has the same DJ with black MOP diamond dial today while I've bought and sold a few. I can't seem to settle on one "forever" watch.

Watchdaytona · 8 March 2020, 09:40 AM

Took me a long time 46, White Daytona 116500, I never liked the silver bezel on the previous models and the 6263 which I loved as a kid was discontinued before I was an adult and then was out of my reach. so too about 28 years for them to put the black bezel back on a Daytona for me to buy.

AFlint · 8 March 2020, 09:55 AM

I was 37 when I get this a couple months ago. I haven't been able to take it off since!

hillsnow · 8 March 2020, 09:56 AM

Bought mine in February of 2019 -- I was 22! I got a DJ everose w/ wimb dial. I haven't regretted it to this day (ofc)

Jefferyasher · 8 March 2020, 11:12 AM

I was 28 when I purchased my 14060m. I still have this as my one and only Rolex.

First Rolex at 24 going on 25. Purchased for my upcoming birthday but, it came in at record time. Ended up pulling the trigger about a month before the big day.

B2 Stealth · 8 March 2020, 12:18 PM

57 years old when my Rolex addiction started--a 2017 Submariner. Have since added a 2019 GMT II Batman and Deep Sea James Cameron today. Still waiting for the elusive Pepsi on jubilee.

Trouble15 · 8 March 2020, 01:14 PM

I was 24 or 25. My first Rolex was close to yours, I bought a BNIB from an AD, 116233. I went in to buy a 116610LN, tried on the 116233 and it was so comfy, I went with it.

Muxi · 8 March 2020, 01:17 PM

Maybe 22-23, two-tone Sub. It’s still with me.

Onikage · 8 March 2020, 01:20 PM

Classic to take you through life. Take the sticker off. You will be happier. 24 and < this btw.

efthi · 8 March 2020, 01:24 PM

Mine are not that much old and have been changing models around during the last couple of years. My oldest is a 10yo 16610LV but I am not the first owner anyway

I met a business partner last week from US, he has a 16610LN that he purchased 27 years back for $1400!! He wanted a Daytona but they were sold for $3000 at the time and he thought it’s too much to spend for a watch back then

I was finally able to pick up my first Rolex last month at the age of 37. I’ve always wanted one and it’s been a long road to get to this place financially, but super stoked that I was finally able to do it!
