14060.

Pondering trading my first, in on a BLNR, versus just taking it on the chin and paying grey prices. I'd really hate to lose My First, if ya know what I'm sayin.

114060 for me

That is amazing! What an heirloom!

I liked it because it was a modern reference with the engraved rehaut and had the Harley thing going for it. After being here a while I felt it wasn't much of a statement Rolex and ended up trading it in on a SubC. I bought another 36mm OP to replace it before too long.

OK... adding a photo of the first, Rosebud...

GMT Master II 116710LN

Soultime · 21 November 2018, 04:45 PM

Mine was a very early Flat 4 Kermit.
One of the first made. 2003 / Y serial iirc.

Although at the time nobody knew about Flat 4 etc. It was just the 50th anniversary Submariner.

Bought in 2005. Stolen in 2007.

Would be worth a lot now!

A Sea-Dweller 16600 that is still in the collection. Thinking of trading it in for a SD4K but thinking I might regret it as it is my first "real" watch

Sub 'triple zero' from the old days.

bman36 · 23 November 2018, 01:52 AM

Sub LV - M series. Still my favorite. The green bezel, black face, and large markers make it perfect.

strafer_kid · 23 November 2018, 02:43 AM

Mine was a 16700 GMT that I subsequently flipped, and came to regret on down the line. There have been quite a few since however including another 16700 that certainly won't be going anywhere!

RMC12 · 23 November 2018, 02:54 AM

My LVc was my first in 2012. Just walked into my local AD, they had it on display, bought it, job done! Those were the days!!

Euge · 23 November 2018, 02:59 AM

My first one is my Grandpas.....

The First one I bought is this one....
