Did anyone start posting before they got their first Rolex?
 

I did, and I just cannot get over how much I love my Y series Sub Date.

About 5 years before, unless there's a minor miracle. ;-)

i joined when i was going to sell my first one..that i got as a gift. It was a 1993 DateJust, Two Tone Jubille, Fluted Bezel, Black Dial, Roman Numerals. I was young and foolish(16) So i sold it for dirt cheap...Now Im still young and foolish(17):chuckle: But im A LOT more educated on Rolex and regret selling it. Probably one of the dumbest things ive done in my life so far:dummy::dummy:

But now i want one BAD, If all goes well I should have my second first Rolex by June:cheers:

I did...my Submariner arrives tomorrow!!

I Joined before I bought my first but had a hand-me-down 1675 already. This is a great place to expand you knowledge and when the time comes I am sure if you stick around you will find the person or place that will sell you your first. This is a huge investment you should learn all you can about it.

Absolutely I did. I did about two months of research first, mostly by posting here.

Ditto.

Al Gore hadn't invented the Internet before I bought my
first Rolex hahahaha

People post here who don't own a Rolex but they have one
thing in common with all of us which welcomes them here
that being the love of Rolex and passion for fine watches.

I did !

I bought mine 7 months after I joined the forum here.

yep dont have mine yet him here to stay!

Nope, I owned my first Rolex over a year before finding this Forum. But I will blame this Forum for my second Rolex which I bought in February!!!

Some of the people here..try to join to have some ideas on what to buy and whats best to buy...they ask questions whats is a good model which one goes with what and a lot more...its a big purchase..and i would do the same...everyone is welcome here even if you dont own a Rolex...some people owns a different brands...but its much better to do your homes work before buying your Rolex or any kind of watch..

Same for me !

:thumbsup:

I also signed up and in a few months prior to acquiring my 16613. :thumbsup:

+1

I had my first Rolex 20 or so years before I came here.

i did. got my rolex a couple of months after i joined TRF.

I found TRF while doing the research before I bought my SD. Posted here (SD vs. LV) and got some great responses before I pulled the trigger. :bye:

i'm posting right now. don't own one...but will sooner or later.

I did not, as I found the forum by chance!!

I did too, 4 or 5 months before buying my GMT II....

I'm still saving up for my first...

Yup, I joined to learn more about them and to help find the "best deal." I stayed because of the many friends I made. Had it not been for this forum:
1. I would have paid more for my 16613 and my wife's 179161
2. I would have never bought my 16570
3. I would have had a lot more free time for other things!
4. I would not have some of you as friends!

I joined a day or so before I placed a deposit on a Sub. Havent gotten it yet, I about own half of it right now... AD ordered me a more recent serial number than they had in stock (which I was kinda surprised about). So instead of plunking down all the cash at once, I'm just gonna pay it over a couple months. It is very tough to wait tho.

I joined the forum 1st and suffered for 2 months before buying my 1st.

Yep.

Still don't own a Rolex.

Read all the great information on the Sub date, before my purchase 6 months later.

Me too, same thing, same watch now I own 2

my first rolex (datejust SS tuxedo dial, domed bezel/oyster bracelet) is on the way. i've been posting for a couple of weeks.

yup, i joined last year, and only just purchased my first rolex last week
