It is almost like people are measuring to see where they stand in life and if others have achieved it before or after them. I don't think age matters when you received your first, second or third Rolex or any watch for that matter. Maybe my post seems weird, but IMO I think fising for when people items is a little weird myself
Hi Scarab, yes your post is weird.... my Q is some little monkey was taking the piss out of me.... being to old to go for X2 42mm and I should stick to the GMT... cheeky little bugger, so I was as a new member was going to check out the age of the av. TRF member!! as I was stupid enough to mention that I am going to allow my self to spend 8000 bucks on my 50th.

I got my first Rolex at 21 from a trade. I sold that watch, and officially bought my first Rolex a few months later. I turn 22 in a couple months.

I don't have a Rolex but I got the first watch of my "collection" when I was 20. I'm 21 now and I bought three others over the summer so I guess the Rollie should come pretty soon!
