First car? First Rolex?
Hey everyone went to visit my parents and My dad was changing the oil on my first ride. 1987 Chevy pick up. Crazy how much has changed in 4 years. From a Chevy and timex to Rolexes and Porsches. I'm definitely blessed. What was your first car? First Rolex? Do you still own them ? This should be a fun thread :) - Mike

First Rolex was my 16710 bought new from an AD in 1995. Still wear it.
Growing up my father owned a VW, Porsche, Audi dealership. I had dreams at the time of being given the keys to a new 944 when I turned 16. What I ended up with was a $500 1976 Audi Fox. As he handed me the keys he told me "no 16 year old boy should have a new car". Looking back I think he was right. |

1980 VW Scirocco S and a stainless Datejust with fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet and silver tapestry dial. Stupidly traded the watch after I bought an Explorer II white dial. Inherited the same watch with white Roman numeral dial from my dad. That one won't get away. Traded the first for a Speedmaster Michael Schumacher moonphase if I recall. Traded the Scirocco for an '82 BMW 320i!

First car: 1993 Honda Prelude SR-V. Loved that car. Spent thousands of dollars on engine mods, mags and body kit and spoiler. Was sad to part with it.
First Rolex: Datejust 16234. Still have it and love it. Will never part with this one. Bought new at an AD back in July of 2004.
