According to my calculations, if it was your 34th birthday, Rolex was not invented till about 30 years after that.

WANNABE? I was busting your balls when only the sheep had anything else to do with that part of your anotomy.

That fateful day that I went to check what happened to you, to find out they killed both heads of the two headed monster put me at the top of that list and exempt.

Goodnight, Daren. It's just past 10:05 pm here and I think I'll tuck in early too. My best to you and your family.

I still keep it and LOVE it. It was my first Rolex and a true classic; one day it will belong to my son.

astcell · 13 September 2006, 02:35 AM

For us Americans, what is a "tosser" and how did it get that name? I mean I have an idea but want to know for sure.

Chris_FL · 13 September 2006, 03:25 AM

at 21 SS Airking, now 22 D series Sub-date :D

djasniew · 13 September 2006, 03:32 AM

Age 35 bought a seadweller 6 months ago. After a divorce and a little tight on money I was able to get my dream watch.

Here's a simple story to explain the above:

There was this couple called Mr. & Mrs. Bates....and they had an only son....naturally, Master Bates!!

Get the picture?

s7horton · 13 September 2006, 05:04 AM

Got my first 16610 when I was 23.

howitzer · 13 September 2006, 05:14 AM

46 and took delivery today!!! Been wanting one since 1984. Finnally getting divorced after 21 LONG years!!!!

Goodwatch · 13 September 2006, 05:18 AM

40 years and 4 months, a brand new 16610. But before that some wannabees, Cartier Santos Dumont and Tank Vermeil.

Woody · 13 September 2006, 05:50 AM

32 years - 1992 SS Submariner - no box but did have papers. Kept it for 6 months before p/x against a new SD (P Serial).

Next stop is likely to be a GMT (1675 or 16750) - have spotted a couple I like but yet to take the plunge. Not sure if I am a two watch guy - can't help but think I will prefer one over the other - this may cause discontent and unhappiness....................life is sooooooooooo complicated.

djemmtee · 13 September 2006, 12:08 PM

i got my gmt II at 25 as a b-day gift from my pops, and i just bought my first rollie "lv" at 26(as a b-day present to myself).

Toyigloo · 13 September 2006, 12:41 PM

I got my first a 1970 5513 (dad paid $182.00 for it new) as a graduation gift from dad in 1986. So foolish of me to trade for my gmt II in 1996. Now i wish I would have just kept it and bought GMT outright.

Subfiend · 13 September 2006, 02:03 PM

26

ROLEX4EvEr · 13 September 2006, 02:07 PM
