As a teenager of the 70's i concur!

Submariner

Farilaydin · 17 June 2011, 10:10 PM

for my 30th my other half bought me a coke GMT, and when i first cast eyes on it it brought back an episode of Magnum PI

- does anyone else remember the episode that consisted of perpetual flashbacks to Magnum's childhood memories of his dad. My lasting memory was of the closing shot at his dad's funeral when a pre-pubescent magnum raised his hand to his forehead in a fimal salute to his dad (a serving naval officer I think - hence why they were settled in Hawaii), the over-sized GMT poingnantly dangling form his wrist

Isn't that one of the reasons why we like to keep hold of sought after time-pieces - something to pass down to the kids

987fanatic · 17 June 2011, 10:31 PM

SS Daytona for sure... especially the myth of how hard it was to get them...

DSSD but my first was the SubC LV. Still love/lust the Deep Sea.

mjclark32 · 18 June 2011, 04:34 AM

sub for me. had to have it.

mrbill2mrbill2 · 18 June 2011, 05:24 AM

16610 No maxi anything.

Bruno C · 18 June 2011, 09:05 AM

I began to be interested in Rolex when I saw the Explorer I.
After that, The Airking.
When I discovered the Sub ND, knew was the one for me.

Doctorsti · 18 June 2011, 09:25 AM

Sub-C for me. I always wanted a Rolex but never as much as I wanted the Sub-C. The Sub-C made me sell off most of my very large watch collection to own it.

capote · 18 June 2011, 10:31 AM

I remember when I was a kid, 3-4 years old. A friend of mine had a bad fake of the GMT. The Rolex crown was bouncing around in the case, but that was my first encounter with the Rolex and to this day I think the pepsi is the essential Rolex.

drockadam · 4 July 2011, 12:11 AM

Started off seeing my father having a 168000 on his wrist in a picture. Now I'm obsessed. The 16610 is my favorite.

steve1985 · 4 July 2011, 12:31 AM

The Sub no doubt. Especially when they introduced the green dial, my dream Rolexl! I also liked the TT DJ, which I do own.

ManUtd · 4 July 2011, 12:40 AM

The Sub for sure.

Watch Professor · 4 July 2011, 01:46 AM

Sub Date 16610. I went to buy one from an AD but saw the GMT IIC and fell in love. But I couldn't get the Sub out of my mind and 6 months later, bought that also.

rickyinrio · 4 July 2011, 01:54 AM

What started me loving the brand was a gold DJ with a black leather strap my father used to wear when I was 12 yo. In 1974 I bought my first Rolex Datejust 16013. After 6 years wearing that model I swiched to Subs until last year when I bought the GMT IIc. Love it!

1675-David · 4 July 2011, 02:28 AM

sub for sure

SkyKing31 · 4 July 2011, 02:42 AM

the 18kt DD sparked my interest when I was a kid .. It looked so cool on my dad's wrist

mjm800 · 4 July 2011, 02:46 AM

GMT Pepsi I remember seeing one at a bar in the 1990's I thought it was the most beautiful watch the aluminum bezel glistened in the light...I was in love.

Funny back then I never thought I would ever own a Rolex being a poor grad student it was such an unattainable dream.

z32turbo · 4 July 2011, 02:50 AM

The TT Blue Sub first and the YG DD as well.

Yudi · 4 July 2011, 04:37 AM

sub 16610 when i was in college 10 years ago

JVP · 4 July 2011, 04:46 AM

When I was a younger, I was around offshore powerboat racing. In the late '70's and early '80's, everyone, I mean everyone associated with the sport was wearing submariners. Some got them because they were wealthy business men and others were men who made their fortunes in less than legal ways. I later worked for a team that won back to back world championships. I now have three subs in my collection. (stainless, two tone, and 18k). The sub is the watch that first caught my eye and I am now one of those guys lucky enough to still be involved in the sport almost 35 years later.
