Mine is the Sub Date. Rolexes appealed to me when I was just a kid. Told myself I must own at least one

My first Rolex is a SS Datejust which belonged to my grandfather,and my first Rolex I purchase was the white Exp II.

Started off with the SS datejust...was marvelled by it...went into greater detail doing some research 2 yrs back...and realised I was into this watch/brand. Went into forums and met some Rolex enthusiasts at HWZ and tadah...this site was born!!

Well it appealed to me and I was very motivated tks to this DJ which I won't sell. Love it totally!

i got my first rolex when i was in sec school, in the 1980s.....a rolex manual winding, which my dad paid around S$500 for it.

So lucky!!

My dad passed away in 1970 (I was 10, my brother was 4), leaving behind 2 of his Rolexes. One was a 6694 and the other was a Gold Case / MOP face / leather strap. We had to split them between us.

I took the 6694 and recently had it serviced for $1050 Something about the 6694 that has a very Classic look.

Bought my very own SS Sub Date last month

Well..I guess it's a wise choice though I am not sure if u made it or not. Though the gold 1 maybe worth more..imagine the service charge...it won't be $1050.

As for me...my grandfather left a SS DJ and a YG DJ/DD(not sure),my mum took the SS 1 and she let my auntie take the YG 1. I guess it is a gd move,I recently went to replace the bracelet,well I cant imagine how much I would be paying if I were to change the bracelet of the YG 1...ard 10k!!!.

Bought my 1st Rolex SS Datejust pre-owned 10 years ago but lost it after a year of wearing it. I was so upset about it...
Only recently started to buy Rolexes for various reasons :
1. An anniversary gift for my wife (of 13 years) and giving me 3 beautiful daughters
2. Pamper myself abit after working for 17 years (and still have to continue to work for another 12 years...then retire...hopefully)
3. For their reputation as a daily beater and still tell accurate time.

This is my first.A vintage 5513.Did a lot of reading and research....and realised that vintage is the way to go.Modern rollies can be bought anytime.....so long as you got the cash.Not so for vintage......getting rarer to even see one in any shop.

Jus me.Peter.
