When did Warren Buffett bought his rolex?

I know Warren Buffett wear a rolex. But does anyone know when did he bought it? I remembered I read it somewhere before that he bought it when he was a still kid, already making a lot of money from delivering newspaper and his various small businesses. But I can't find that reference anymore.

I don't know when he bought his Rolex, but he bought a major AD... Ben Bridge

the Skydweller should be Jimmy buffet, not Warren Buffet? Warren buffet just has a day date I think.

It may have been a gift from Charlie, his business partner.

He's the 2nd or 3rd richest person in the world. The guy has watches we only dream of which he probably didn't even buy. Probably all given to him by business partners and after major deals.

I have met Jimmy Buffett several times, through one of his children, and one of those times he had a Sky Dweller on. Warren Buffett, the investor, is a different guy. I read that he wears a Datejust.

Yes, I saw that press release. I suspect Rolex wrote that, and of course, they got Buffett's permission. I don't think Buffett wear a seadweller though. But I am wondering if he bought it when he was very young ( I remember I read it somewhere he bought it when he was still in elementary school), or bought it when he became more successful :)

Buffet has often said that if he ever had the opportunity, he would love to buy Rolex. I'm glad he probably will never get the opportunity.
