If i recall correctly it was 6 moths or so.

grimps · 30 October 2017, 10:16 PM

I had an old second hand Datejust for a couple of years , Im not sure why I even bought it as I never wore it.
I then happened to walk into my local AD one day and they had a black dial daytona so I knew I had to have it.

I wish it had just stopped there and the Daytona could have been my one watch for the rest of my life , Unfortunately Ive had another six since

Sprta · 30 October 2017, 10:27 PM

19 years after my first one, purchased the BLNR two weeks ago and waiting any day for the HULK. Daytona is also on my list.

How soon did you guys get your first Rolex that you were back in the market looking for more?

....only own 1....

DoctorA · 30 October 2017, 10:51 PM

I feel home :) I’m encouraged to start looking for my second!
Indeed it is an addiction......... a good one though :-)

SG56 · 30 October 2017, 10:53 PM

A month.

If i had the means, i'd have a few more :)

dreamcometrue · 30 October 2017, 11:05 PM

Just got by 2 years of owning my first Rolex and I am itching to flip up from Milgauss to DateJust 41 - unfortunately I will not have the funds to keep both. Plan is to change watches every few years by adding funds and end up with a Day Date one day! Climb a ladder of watches :)

MCO1 · 30 October 2017, 11:13 PM

A huge gap in time between my first and second! The last two there was roughly two years part of that was dictated by the Daytona C wait list though....it could have been more.

jaySL350 · 30 October 2017, 11:20 PM

Around 12 years,,,
Firstly my dj 16013 and my daily for many years was an Omega seamaster,,,,,
Then a gv milguass [too heavy and missed having no date wheel] then a Blnr and finally settled with my dj2,,,,,,

I never owned multiple Rolex until I joined TRF. Then I bought in bunches

Similar story, first two SS buys were years apart, then I got TRF-ed and first two PM pieces were in the same month!

I think that question will be hard to answer because everyone is gonna have different answers. Some is a day and others a couple of years. Its when YOU feel ready.

watchwatcher · 31 October 2017, 12:02 AM

I wore my first, a nice DJ, for several years...5 or 6, I really don't remember.

And then...I added a sub. And then...discovered TRF. And then...

Racerdj · 31 October 2017, 12:03 AM

Two months!

VladimirS · 31 October 2017, 12:05 AM

1st October 2016 and mid-June 2017. Thought it would be a year or two but enjoyed my first so much I put my name down for the Sub LV after about 6 weeks.

PLNYC · 31 October 2017, 12:12 AM

1 month. 116234 then there was a 116710blnr at the window

uansari1 · 31 October 2017, 12:14 AM

Two months...and then picked up a third seven months after that. So yes, from zero to three in nine months lol...

Chiboy · 31 October 2017, 12:17 AM

I think I may be an outlier. See sig.

ryanm · 31 October 2017, 01:51 AM

3 yrs for the second, 1 yr for the third.....expensive trend

Maiden · 31 October 2017, 02:19 AM

It was about 6 months or so, I traded another piece to obtain a 16014. About a year later I obtained a 116613lb. Then a few months later I traded the 16014 towards a 18238! The good news is I think I am about to stop, maybe.....

yxc145 · 31 October 2017, 02:24 AM

12 years. My parents bought me the 1st one. 2nd one and 3rd one were two months apart.

GradyPhilpott · 31 October 2017, 09:14 AM

About eleven months, if memory serves.

zaydans · 31 October 2017, 09:18 AM
