A 14060 that was purchased in 1995. It was traded for a SD in 2000 that's still in my collection.

Gharddog03 · 4 December 2011, 04:32 AM

Welcome. Many years of saving and this was my first.

Cuinne · 4 December 2011, 04:57 AM

I purchased my first Rolex a little under two months ago to mark a significant career achievement. It joins a Speedy Pro 3572.50, and a Hamilton Field Khaki, in my small collection. It won't be my only Rolex thanks to this board.

Wolfgang427 · 4 December 2011, 05:14 AM

Brand new Sub Date #1680 in 1978.

I actually live in beck and 9 mile area. It's pretty much the same, nothing big changed here. Still quiet as usual.

My first Rolex was a SS/YG AirKing Date with a semi-pearl colored dial. These AK's were only availabe in Common-wealth countries. Bought in '86, It was worn everyday for about 13 years w/out a problem. (or service!) Great watch

Kirrl · 4 December 2011, 07:43 AM

shelley · 4 December 2011, 08:35 AM

This was my first Rolex. Wish I still had it.

BNA/LION · 4 December 2011, 08:55 AM

The first Rolex I bought was an 18K YG President DD with Champaign and Diamond Dial.

Choose carefully ~ You can only buy your first Rolex one time!

I got something in mind, then I get to the next pic and ughh.. lol

Yep, I absolutely will!

GRabens · 4 December 2011, 02:44 PM

My first was a SD in 1998. I later sold it to fund a 18k & SS Blue Sub which was my dream watch. I no longer own either watch, but I wish I still did!

George Ab · 4 December 2011, 05:30 PM

Manual wind Rolex Speeking. It was pretty small at 30mm, but I really liked that watch.

I bought off my best bud for $500; I think it was $150 down payment and $50 a month payments. I was a full time student with a full time job as a janitor at the time.... the lean years. My friend purchased new out of the Navy ship store for $350 in the late 70's early 80's.

masterkiller · 4 December 2011, 06:32 PM

Hkspwrsche · 5 December 2011, 03:48 AM

I started with a stainless date model that I sold. Bought and sold a few since and landed on a m series pepsi gmt and seadweller that I still have. Plus some other non rolex but, don't last long.

Ichaice · 5 December 2011, 04:07 AM

My first Rolex was the Submariner. I sold it I think to get a Panerai. I've recently replaced it and hopefully it will be a keeper this time.
