My 16 year old son saved for the past few years and finally got his first watch. Little back story he loves watches and jewelry and actually wants to become a jeweler. He got a dj36 older style with diamonds. Non factory of course but this is what he wanted. I think it’s pretty cool. He is very proud of it.

He likes to shop at icebox? Is he a member of the crips/bloods?

Nevertheless, congrats to him on his achievement

Yes is is a blood. He’s 16 comes from an upper middle class family and he is gangbanging on the side ( don’t tell his mom she will crap ) Haha thanks for the congrats.

Please don’t give in to these stupid comments from these forum members.
And much respect to you and your son. I love that you allowed him to get what he wants.

Lmao at the ignorance and racist comments.

What does a diamond Rolex have to do with Icebox jewelry, rap, or grills.

Congrats to him Danny, to be able to save up that much money and want a watch of all things at that age!

It's like the sun, best not to stare or look directly at it.

Good on him for saving. That's a tough thing to do for some at any age, much less 16.

2001jesper · 2 January 2020, 06:52 AM

Kodus for saving that much at a young age and getting what one wants! Hope that he will enjoy the heck out of it

Rolex_AG · 2 January 2020, 06:53 AM

Appreciate that he saved up for it. But a 36mm datejust with aftermarket bezel? For a 16 year old? You couldn’t steer him towards a submariner??

Or an Invicta?

I misread that as ‘pretending skills’

Unusual choice for a young man but if it makes him happy

Good for him. Proud for you both. It’s something he wanted, saved & paid for.
His opinion is the only one that counts.

Love that watch! Good for him!

One of Rolex's most stunning references.

How does a 16 year old save up for few years and buy a Rolex?

Let me take a wild guess...working part-time, more during the summer and vacations. And maybe even some OT here and there.

Thank you

I was going to be more Clint Eastwoody with a reply but you saved me the typing.

That and it’s a Rolex forum. The parents here know people with big lawns to cut and fancy cars to wash.

Yes In fact he does work part time and has for years. I have a Construction business and when time allows him he loves to get up at 4:30 am come with me clean my shop , mix paint etc. my guys that appreciate the fact he works hard for his dad. It is great to see a young man put in work to get what he wants. Very proud of him. So not sure why do many people have hate for a young man working hard
