Boopie · 4 January 2009, 02:44 PM

My husband gave me my YM when I was 32, to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. It was a gift, but with my approval of the watch, in my presence. If we couldn't have afforded it I would have nixed it.

My husband received a Sub from his father last year for his 39th birthday.

JJ Irani · 4 January 2009, 02:48 PM

October 1980 - on my 34th birthday at the time!!

Yume-sama · 4 January 2009, 06:16 AM

I am surprised Under 21 is winning

greenfan · 4 January 2009, 06:29 AM

I was 39...

f16570 · 4 January 2009, 06:31 AM

Is the age relevant? How many actually bought their's as opposed to being gifted it by generous parents.

Bitterly yours etc etc

LucasBSPX · 4 January 2009, 06:31 AM

35 for me! Hope I get a Daytona before I'm 40!

AIKO · 4 January 2009, 06:36 AM

I would like to know how these folks under 21 are buying their own. I understand the gift thing.

f16570 · 4 January 2009, 06:39 AM
