Here's my first Rolex. Let's see yours.
I bought mine 15 years ago while vacationing in Florida. Couldn't believe I bought a $5000 watch.... I was in the hotel like freaking out I just spent 5 grand on a watch. Never regretted after the first night. Lol

Unpolished and she's beautiful !!!!

Here's my first that I bought in September 2008.

Coincidentally, I paid $5000 plus tax for mine.

Went to buy a 16610 for my first nine years ago and came home with the LV
Only kept it a couple years and have bought and sold the 16610LV twice since, just didn't wear it much.

Howdy Toolr, where did you snap that photo? I grew up along and get back as much as I can to the west shore of Whidbey.

Here's mine, obtained at age 64 and it's probably my only one. It'll eventually go to my son and then Grandson.

Got my first Rolex, the year of my first miracle, a Daughter back in 2013.

Wore it while anticipating her arrival...




Wearing this while watching her grow up...priceless...

My reward to myself after 26 years as a police officer and making it out in one piece (pretty much)!

got my first Rolex in December of last year, I felt odd driving back to work after I spent over 17k on a watch, I didn't know how I was going to tell the wife I just bought a watch worth that much, after I told her she made me buy her a new engagement ring. lol

So, our story is kind of similar, but opposite. For our 15th wedding anniversary, my wife decided she "needed" a big-ass diamond (about $15K), which I was ok with... But then, I had all the ammo I needed to finally get my watch. Picked it up yesterday. Freakin love it.
