Age profiles of Rolex lovers???

[Darkangel]

very true, as most of the watch is "hand me downs" so cannot sell so easily

Yeah agreed.

mine was at 12, worn on a regular basis at age 14. "upgrade" to TT DJ diamond dial at age 20. Now eyeing gmtII/expII.

i grew up around rolex so i guess it was a natural progression towards the brand and this hobby in general

Wah you even more power than me hahaha

bro wanna change other models so sell la, last time dun have so much $ to keep buying ma.U still have your first rollie with u now? curious too. I am sure many bros here have already gone on to better models since their first rollies.

Agree...I also not much money to hold so I sold my first rollie a few months back Now I am aiming to get it back! This year I can get another rollie!! I believe I will hehe..

I sold off my first rollie coz needed cash to cover up for a stock...now just waiting to cash out before my rollie comes in

All this while, buying a rolex was never my intention. I had preferred a later age; like 40 when i am at a Tow Kay status (may be)....However, after coming into this forum, it had changed my perspective and i had taken the plunge.

Only bought my first rolex this year Apr at the age of 32....the next watch that i am aiming to buy would also be a rolex (Either the Deepsea or MTIIc).

Rolex is not a status symbol, although it is perceived as one, and as such, many think that once must have "made it" to own one.
I know in Oz it seems a bit "foolish" to own such an exquisite timepiece when many of the people place their priorities in other things.

I once read an article, and it said why Asians like to buy luxury watches... it is because they want something to spend money on, but buying multiple cars/boats/etc is too costly to do in a space restricted country like S'pore. Thus you buy something that can be easily kept, such as a watch.

"Rolex is not a status symbol,.."

I beg to differ dude. ROLEX is a STATUS SYMBOL, and in both ways. First, it is a definite luxury timepiece for those climbing up the corporate ladder but not yet there. Second, it is NOT a luxury timepiece for those rich and "up there". Please allow me to explain this in detail in another thread.

Thx .
