My First Rolex purchase 22 years ago

This classic look DJ 36 was my first purchase, 22 years ago during my first family trip to Switzerland. Since then I have grown my collection and I proudly gave this watch as a gift to my father. My father has now reached an age when he found no need for wearing this watch and he passed it back to me to enjoy and cherish. A timeless, priceless piece.

Love your story. I have the same DJ (with a blue face) that my wife gave me new 28 years ago, and it will be passed on to my son someday.

Such a great watch. When I put it on it is like putting on an old pair of broken in blue jeans!
