37 - Bought it for myself to celebrate the birth of our daughter (the Mrs got a Diamond ring so I had to treat myself too). Mainly thanks to this forum however, I am now 38 and on the verge of buying my second!!

DanG · 19 June 2013, 01:30 AM

50. I bought an Explorer II. My dad promised me his DJ at 40 but my step mother refused to let him give it to me. I finally gave up and bought my own Rolex. My brother also bought his rolex at the same time figuring he wasn't going to get one of his rolexes either.

My dad died several years ago. Neither of us got one of his rolexes.

MitchellWiggs · 19 June 2013, 01:30 AM

Just bought mine at 24

22. I went to ac with my buddies & $200 for the night. Sat down at a black jack table and 7 hours later I had $21,000 played another hour and lost a lot. Still wound up walking away with $14,500 cash, which I used to buy a gmt2-c the next day

I got my first, a 16710, when I was 15. Sold that and got a 1680. Then I sold that and got a 16610LV. At my current age of 16, I still have the LV, and I have an SS Daytona in the mail.

Watchflair · 19 June 2013, 03:10 AM

Ha great Ac story. Had a similar experience when I was 21 bought a wg day date.

First Rolex was at 19. Got a two tone date just with oyster band and champagne dial. Flipped it about 4 months later for a sub.

mizunoboy · 19 June 2013, 03:12 AM
