21, a SD. That was about 13 years ago. Wish I'd kept it, I'd paid less than half what they go for now. Was into bigger watches at the time. Sold it to get a Panerai 111, which is still one of my all time favorites and most reliable. No regrets on that piece. Panerai is still the only watch I'll really go for in regards to something larger.

Hi everyone, new member to the forum. I just bought my first Rolex a month ago, I'm currently 30. I bought a DateJust 41 fluted silver dial. I have been wearing a Tudor BB58 before that.

24: Date. Blue Shantung, 1501 I do believe. Half price: MSRP $350, I paid 175$.

Oh, this was 1974: and it was a kind of insurance settlement.

34. It could have been 27 but for some reason I was a massive rolex hater for awhile... Like "i'd prefer to go to the dentist than wear a Rolex" sort...

Haha that was me but I’m younger than you so I hated Rolex in my late teens. Got my first Rolex at 24–the Milgauss Z blue.

29 - Ceramic Sub in 2011. I've worn it every day and the bezel gets used multiple times throughout the day because my job (45 minute sessions for speech therapy clients).

I'll wear it until I die.

51. I got my mom’s lady DJ and my grandmothers 5005. Couldn’t wear either, but got my dad’s DJ when he passed back in 2016. Figured I would add to the collection with my Sub CND and BLRO.

I was wearing a Casio G shock before all of that.

34, 16623 champagne dial, didn’t wear a watch for about 10 years before then. I was most likely last wearing a military issued G shock before then.
