Because of how the question was ask. Look at the replies. Not many of us reply with what memory it bring up. Just some simple figure of age and watch model.

Anyway if is your intention to ask the member here to share about the fond memories of our 1st significant watch.

Here's mine,

My 1st significant watch was a JLC Reverso. I hesitated for a long time. I know I want one but not sure I'm willing to pay that kind of money. Some more when I gone to the shop my wife pick another more expansive model to boot! >:(

Think three think four then finally I went ahead  with the more expansive model. Even though it's not my initial choice but it turns out as the right one. Many years later I still cherish this watch.

Sometimes we don't always get what we want and that's a good thing ... ... at least for me ;)

Regards
Tyler

22...DSSD..that was the age i graduated and the DSSD was launched not too long. So what the heck? What better way to celebrate graduation than with a Rolex. So 22 years of savings go down the drain in one swoop. Since I dont drink, smoke, party, club...hentam all on one watch. Am very happy with the purchase and that spurred my watch-madness.

never have.
diff priorities, as in the last yr i've spent more than rm25k on photography equipment.

Same as me, different priorities. I have spend more than few hundred thousands on photography equipment all this years and never owned even a 3k watch.  :Laughing_on_floor:
Don't get me wrong, I do love watches. Every time I wanted to dive into it, I have to choose between two. :Scolding:
Btw, I'm 46  :Dancing_banana:

36, IWC Pilot Mark XVI
Same year, a basic Rolex Oyster Perpetual for my partner. Sad to say she knocked on it with a deep scratch on the bracelet in the same year.
Well... it adds character I guess.

Aiming for a PAM104 or EXPII this year, still indecisive.

Wa congrats on those who can get their >10k watches early in their lives! Mine is a SMP Bond Blue Chronograph for my wedding lar from my father so doesn't really count. I still feel like even though its a very nice watch, it's something my dad bought so not really something "I achieved myself". But since my dad has always been kiam chai (salted vegetables...) with me during my younger days (story later), it reminds me that he does have affection for me after all lar.

Just quick question to those who got their Rollies during their twenties, did you guys save up and just all-in on a watch? What were your financial commitments, family commitments. For those who can really have house + nice car + 10k watch in their twenties, I really respect ler. I have a pretty nice paying job now (compared to other freshies lar) and even then quite hard to survive d since I am paying Mortgage on a house.

I love watches because if you buy a big name watch now, in 20 years time it will still be worth something and cherished if properly maintained. But I think it's pretty weird if I save up, all in on a watch and I am still driving a Proton/renting a place. So my question to the successful sifus is: what's ur priority and how you rank where your money goes?

For me:
1. Family (Ie house mortgage-this one still best investment lar, makan with wife, chia the in-laws and my parents etc).
2. Hobbies (Drinking sometimes if got kaki, play some other geeky games)
3. Watches
4. Cars (I'm not really into cars like, I don't like depreciating assets)

I really really like watches lar, I'm twenty-ish, worked for about 3 years d and have a condo+proton. My condo is pretty ok lar, but I will feel pai sei if I splash 30k for a new DSSD/2nd hand Daytona but still drive Proton  :-[

If I get a fancy car, really limit my disposable income ler, but if I don't get it, wearing a fancy watch + drive proton is quite out of place. Thats why for me, my Omega SMP Chrono is the best choice right now because I can comfortably wear it without being too flashy. Also, my dad is also the kiam type, always pushing me to buy a 2nd house -_- Ai yo, I wonder when only I can enjoy my money. Considering I entered uni @ 17 and started working for a Fortune 500 company @ 20, I think by now can enjoy d  :Mad: but still can't. Haiizzz.
