Wanted to share my story about my first Rolex (126710GRNR on Jubilee)

My family over the course of the last 20-30 years has always purchased from our local jeweler. (My grandparents included). In that timespan, our jeweler went from selling Tag Heuer, Bell & Ross, and Movado to also carrying Rolex.

In high school, my parents would buy jewelry for holidays and special occasions. (David Yurman notably). When I turned 17, I got my first watch (A Movado) from my SA and joked that when I graduated college, I would get a Rolex. When I graduated in 2020, the market had exploded but I still expressed my interest in a GMT knowing my chances were slim.

Just before watches and wonders a few years back, I saw the rumors of the GRNR and knew it aligned with what I wanted and what I wear daily. I expressed my interest and from time to time would stop in to ask.

About three weeks ago, I called my SA and told her I was graduating with my MBA this month, and turning 30 next month. I received the call the week before graduation to come get my watch.

I look forward to working my way to a Daytona with some additional pieces in the coming years.

Wanted to share my story of my first piece (126710GRNR on Jubilee)

My family has had a relationship with our local AD for years. My grandparents and parents had purchased some jewelry over the years for holidays, birthdays, etc. (No egregious spend. We bought Tag Heuer’s, David Yurman, different necklaces, bracelets, wedding bands, etc)

In high school, my family purchased a Movado as my 17th birthday gift. I joked with my SA at the time that when I graduated college I would come back for a Rolex, but when I graduated in 2020 the market had exploded and I knew it would be a long shot to get a GMT as a first piece.

Just before Watches and Wonders a few years ago, I saw the leaks about the GRNR and knew it aligned with what I wanted and what I wear on a daily basis. I called my SA the day it was announced and waited. I recently talked to her and told her I am turning 30 this year and graduating with my masters degree next Sunday. She called me on Friday morning to come get my watch.

I look forward to additional pieces in the next few years. I plan to work my way to a Daytona.
