Still in the 20-30 category! YES! LOL

28 here!

pawhitejr · 12 September 2015, 11:28 AM

I am 41. Bought my first Rolex for my 40th birthday - a previously owned 16600. I have added a Panerai and 16622 in the last year. The wish list keeps getting longer every day I spend on TRF :)

WatchinMD · 12 September 2015, 11:39 AM

Petyot · 12 September 2015, 11:54 AM

Almost 51... Got my first Rolex (1675) in 1991. I traded it for a Breitling Navitimer.

It just depends on what you want to spend your money on i could have had at least 4 stainless rolexs for the amount of money i spent modding a single car in my 20s i wish i had went that route lolol. Live and learn i guess.

Wow a pre owned SD for $855? That's a steal. I remember purchasing a Rolex Date and it was about $1400 from Tourneau in NYC.

I'm 56. I bought my first Rolex in 2000, 1982 TT GMT Master. I have bought and sold several since. Currently wear a TT Blue Sub (16613) and TT Yachtmaster (16623).

Cheers, Tim

42 years old.....I've been wearing a Rolex since I was 42.

thejerseyrock · 12 September 2015, 01:32 PM

47 now. First Rolex at 25

jtambiah · 12 September 2015, 01:37 PM

I'm 47 and bought my first, a Milgauss, last year. Have been into watches since I was 33, and avoided Rolex for many years. Now it is my favorite brand. I'm looking at a BLNR or a 5513 as my next addition.

Cdn328is · 12 September 2015, 02:08 PM

28, just bought my first Rolex in June this year a few days after my birthday. I always was interested in watches and since I bought (and quickly returned due to qc issues) a steinhart ocean 1 in college, I had wanted a submariner.

HogwldFLTR · 12 September 2015, 02:11 PM

I'm in the next to the last category and find it remarkable how the weighting of the distribution is towards those who'd I'd have thought wouldn't bother with a watch due to growing up with cell phones. Now that's market penetration on Rolexes' part. I guess my first Rolex was a year and a half ago (or thereabouts).

jakologo · 12 September 2015, 02:16 PM

63 Got my first Rolex for my 50th birthday.

Relyt · 12 September 2015, 02:26 PM

30, got 1 for my 3 year anniversary with my wife and immediately fell in love with an Explorer ii. Had the Explorer ii customized and sold my date just to afford the customization and a high end tattoo (not from a normal tattoo shop). Also the fact that I will never wear the DJ again as I am too amazed by the explorer.

Soooo I guess we can say 1 Rolex.

An immature 67. First Rolex @ 55. Hamilton Omega Patek Breitling Panerai before then. Making up for lost time with Rolex. Thrilled to see the younger demographic here and the appreciation for mechanical timepieces.
