Poll: How old are "Rootbeer" owners?

[opbigdave]

First new Rolex purchase from an AD .
Retail was $800ish I remember paying $600 and thought they were
still robbing me.
My third Rolex, both prior were pre-owned (used).
Incidentally I was 18 years old.
Yes, unfortunately all are long gone.

CHNR will be my next addition, I’m 50 now and hoping it lands before I’m 51 in 5 months time.

This thread is missing the poll lol

Got mine in December at age 42. Was a little unsure since I wasn’t able to see it before my AD called me, and I couldn’t have been happier when I saw it in person the first time.

Bought the full everose rootbeer for myself on my 60th

You also found yourself waking up in the middle of the night to pee and your sneaker of choice became New Balance -- just kidding :D

Let's see... :)

EDIT: can someone create a poll for me, as I can't have this option :/ Perhaps, 20-30; 30-40; more than 40. Thank you.

Rootbeer owners are older than dirt!

Late 40s. I don't own one yet, but I'm on the "list" at my AD for a TT rootbeer.

[RoyalOac]

37 here, and on the 'waiting list' for one... Funny how tastes evolve. When it was first released I told myself that the CHNR was the only Rolex I would never buy.

[DOCORTHO67]

53

[TimeLord2]

Old as F! Or, apparently, young as a spring day! I think Axion is trolling all of the Root beer owners but like the beverage itself, it may be an acquired taste, for a sophisticated palate… hahahaha! I actually don't like the beverage.

I wanted the BLNR but looking at the Root Beer in person changed my mind. I'm 27!

I remember going to brotherhood winery for a family day outing when visiting NJ. I went into the restaurant on site to see about reservations for us, like 12 people. I was wearing my 166710LN. The owner had on a rootbeer GMT. I admired it and he admired mine. We talked watches for a few minutes. He told me it has been on his wrist daily for like 35 years and his daughter has staked her claim when he kicks the bucket. That had to be probably at least 5 years ago, maybe longer. I sure hope he is alive and well and wearing his Rootbeer GMT.

Bought my TT CHNR last year at 61, but owned my first RB GMTII in my 40s. Love the combination.

[GVAZQUEZ]

38 I got the call today. Beautiful watch I passed on it in 2020.

58, bought my 1675 in 84’ and still have it. CHNR last spring.

[krotondo]

33 - tt chnr

[dbacr]

54 when I bought one

[fishingbear]

I found mine in my late thirties. As an enthusiast with a passion for GMTs, I had to have one and have never considered selling it.

Check for high end stuff. The brown is the color of a product made by an engineer solving for X, free of the marketing MBAs nonsensical decisions. Brown is good.

Exactly! Wait, what?

I’m 48 and purchased mine from the AD one year ago. Love it and always in the rotation.

[Proof Morgan]

I wear the two tone Rootbeer. I'm 43. My wife wears the two tone Bluesy. She is 38. Both purchased in 2020 and 2021.

I got my bro one he’s 34 ‘….

[Longdue2022]

One of the AD's in my area have a sales person who's a young lady that owns one.

[GGGMT]

So who’s tallying up the average age here? What’s the data show? Old fogey watch? Super cool young and hip and fly watch?
