How long have you been a Rolex owner
Just a question. I saw a Rolex AD in Lima Ohio in the 1970 time range. I didn't buy a Rolex then. But if I had I would have been a Rolex owner for @ 54 years. How many here have been a Rolex owner for??? How many number of years and what was the first one you owned?

I've been a Rolex owner since 2007, so about 17yrs now. My first was a Yacht Master with the platinum bezel. My collection has grown to 9 Rolexes and other brands since then.

Bought my first, a TT Date in 1990 so 34 years in all now. I've had about 12 in total over the years. But, not really sure if I owned them or they owned me.

Fascinating to read the answers as most are under 20 years, a reader poll would be intresting. 33 years for me.

Walked in to the AD in 1997 to get the polar GMT and walked out with a black Sub!
