How old were you when you had your first Rolex

I think of him every time I look down and see his invictas he left me, and I think of him when I look down and see my Sub. I actually wear his cheap watches more than my better pieces because I work in a metal shop.

Sorry about your Dad, your story is very similar to mine in this respect.

My dad was also into clocks and watches but never had the funds to have his own Rolex. He died in 2016 and I own the Seiko he wore as a daily and it takes pride of place in my watch box and I will wear it on Christmas day.

In 2020, I bought my first Rolex after a long love affair with the brand and know he would have loved it and would've been proud, I'm sure.
