Average age of a rolex owner?

[Boopie]

I was 32 when I got my SS/platinum YM in 2001. It was the Valentine's Day before my 10th anniversary, and we had no children (i.e. no college tuition to save for).

[chicagowatchman]

I was 22 in 1982 when I bought my first day/date for only $5600 with discount!!!

In 2000 to celebrate my 40th and the Millenium I bought the Platinum Masterpiece Day/Date 39m

[jeangtd]

TT datejust when i was 12, it belonged to my father, gave it to me to save until I was a litlle older, watch got stolen by the maid. bvlgari's and cartier's since then, and at age 26 bought my first rolex, ss submariner, planing on gettin a second rolex next month.

Bryan, I think some early senility is setting in. See post #29 (and then you were only 37 - my how you've aged in just a few posts).

29 and most young ppl can't afford them so they pretend they don't like them as a defense mechanism.

I got my fist in college in my early 20"s..

Now im 28.

I was 28 when I got my Daytona, I'm 37.

[CKay]

I got my one and only Rolex at 37. Started with a Tag at 24. Got married and watches were not one of my priorities until 35 when I started buying my Omegas, IWC, Seikos, Oris and some vintage pieces.

Now I know what is the best for me. R.O.L.E.X!!!!!

34 for the YG Daytona and 45 for my SS GMT IIc (new in August)

[TimeOnHand]

This was my first Rolex... Bought it when I was 31...

[vzmax]

I was 28 when I got my first one. My wife gave me a GMT-II last year for our wedding. Since then I've caught the bug and have purchased two omegas and two more rollies this year. Still waiting for the Daytona call.

[mretzloff]

I'm 17. I got my first Rolex about 3 weeks ago.

[SubDiver]

Bought my first when I was 25. Bought my second when I was 27

[onkyo]

Bought my first black face Milgauss about 1 year ago at age 35. Have bought about 15 more since then. I think I like Rolex's too much.

[SKSeoul81]

Bought my first one when I was 26 and the 2nd one 2 months later shortly after I turned 27.

I love my GMT2 and I worked soooooooo hard to save up to buy it. But why all the Rolex hate there? Take care all Dan

I was 27 when I bought my first Rolex in 1987, which was GMT-Master II. I don't think age should be any deterrent when it comes to buying any watch - if you like it and have the money, then go for it. You're getting a robust, handsome timepiece that will last a lifetime.

Came late to Rolex. Didn't appreciate the brand when I was in my 20's, 30's.

[Atlanta]

I'm 30 and just bought a GMTIIc, my first (but not last) Rolex.

[Rolexitis]

31 here and just got mine this year, but I wanted it 10 years ago I just didn't have the means then.

[cousie]

24, first I thougth it's something for old retired guys, but when I saw the new GMT IIc I was totally convinced this was going to be my next watch, and I got it!
