Here's my first Rolex. Let's see yours.
I bought mine 15 years ago while vacationing in Florida. Couldn't believe I bought a $5000 watch.... I was in the hotel like freaking out I just spent 5 grand on a watch. Never regretted after the first night. Lol

Unpolished and she's beautiful !!!!

Here's my first that I bought in September 2008.

Coincidentally, I paid $5000 plus tax for mine.

Went to buy a 16610 for my first nine years ago and came home with the LV
Only kept it a couple years and have bought and sold the 16610LV twice since, just didn't wear it much.

Here's mine, obtained at age 64 and it's probably my only one. It'll eventually go to my son and then Grandson.

Got my first Rolex, the year of my first miracle, a Daughter back in 2013.

Wore it while anticipating her arrival...




Wearing this while watching her grow up...priceless...

Well, it was my first, and I thought about getting it back, but some things are better to remain in memory...

My TT DJ was my first Rolex. It doesn't get much wrist time since I bought my Sub & Explorer. I usually wear it when I wear a suit.
