I bought myself my SS GMT for my 21st birthday - I'm now 62 and it's still my daily watch.

Got my first Rolex(TT Datejust) eight years ago. I'm 39 now. I've always admired and desired rolex watches but had to wait until my income caught up to my taste. I've purchased 2 since(An SD and LV Sub).
It's slowly becoming an "addiction". Next Rolex on my list....White Face SS Daytona

17 - Omega Seamaster Titanium Chronometer (flipped) which I kinda regret..A LOT!
19 - Breguet ref 5907 (flipped)
22 - IWC Aquatimer Automatic Chronograph 371933
24 - Rolex Milgauss Black Dial

I regret that I didnt buy a Rolex Datejust instead of Seamaster in the begining. And I regret again that I flipped the Seamaster even though I didnt loose a penny. I gained £0.50 on that trade. :-D Imo the Seamaster had the most beautiful blue dial I have ever seen.!!!

I was 28 when I purchased my first Tudor and 29 when I purchased my first SS Sub. At 31 came my first GMT. Just purchased my second GMT II Saturday.
I no longer have the Tudor and wish I could get it back. My daily watch is now my newest GMT II (Black). My current age is 43.

That investment was worth while!. I ended getting hooked up with 3 Stainless Steel Daytonas and bought all my Rolexes from them ever since.
Just got the GV Milgauss and Black Turnograph this year!.
Debt?. Let my kids pay for them when I die!.

I bought my first SS DJ earlier this year at 26 years old. I set some money aside just for that watch so I could pay in cash after the holidays. Then came January 1st 2008, and what a New years Gift to myself from my local AD. I could not have been happier to have paid cash on a very hard earned Rolex.
