Take your time - and the option is given...

I've always loved watches and always had a bunch. My Seiko Kinetic auto relay was probably my first decent watch at 18 years old. I'm 35 now and bought my Rolex when I was 33. My Breitling was a gift when I turned 30.

24. Loved Rolexes my whole life but only about 2 or 3 years ago did I really get into understanding all that goes into making a Rolex a Rolex.

How old are you? Age of average Rolex enthusiast

Please share your secrets.

It was a goal of mine since I was 16. Save save save! I had a Rolex crown on my wallpaper phone, everything was Rolex, until I finally got one. Law of attraction I guess.

One month shy of 73 and, sadly (or maybe fortunately), I didn't own a Rolex until about five years ago. I didn't know what I was missing but my bank account sure does.

Wanted a Rolex since I was 15. 19 I bought one, and for my 20th I'll be buying my second one. Of course I've had other watches to, my omega, and a couple cheap brands when I was younger.

Surprised how young the average is on TRF, I am 44 I thought 50+ would be selected as most common. First nice watch when I was 20 first Rolex at 40.
