Last week I was just trying to explain to my wife, who is the same age as me, how we used to use tape recorders and cassette tapes before floppy disk drives were widely used in home computing.

Great thread! I grew up in the 80's and have loved Rolex ever since I was in middle school. I remember looking at the current models in the 80's and some of these pics really bring back the memories! I actually went into an AD when I was a kid and the saleslady gave me a catalog. I looked at that catalog so much, the pages started falling apart and I held it together with a rubber band. For some reason in that lineup, it was always the two tone GMT Master with the brown dial and Jubilee bracelet that was my favorite. I still love that watch and maybe someday I'll own one! :)

Several of my friends dads had YG DD's. I didn't know anything about them then, except I probably knew they were expensive. If I were buying a watch based on my experience during that time it would be a YG DD.

For those of us growing up in the 70s/80s, Magnum PI was huge. This was my introduction to the BLRO GMT.
Took me over 30 years but I finally got one. :)

I bought my first submariner date in 1986 for $1600.00. I thought that was too much money for a watch so I returned it.

Loved that show! And the watch. This is my current 1675 circa 1968. Have a hooked 7 date wheel inbound so it will be correct. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh, if I could only go back! Heuer Autavia, or a Regatta. When I think of the Rolex I have had or passed on it makes me shutter
