Blomman- may I ask what got you started? What inspired you?
Why did you wait so long? You certainly made up for lost time
Congratulations also that you kept your first watch. Many don't.
I also still have the first Omega my mother gave me when I was 16 years old (24yrs ago).
Best Edmond

Well, Edmond.....

A lot of different factors.... Money, interests, focus, girls..... A lot of different reasons. But the main reason I think was that I lived a type of life where an expensive watch was not a good thing to have on your wrist! When I turned 30 I changed to a...
Understandable

Blomman - now I understand you better thank you. Focus, money and girls - all very understandable reasons to put your 'focus' elsewhere. LOL! I am glad you find such pleasure now with watches and I very much enjoy reading your posts! Best Edmond
Yes, long relationship....

I plan to hold on to this one for 18 more years... Then Junior will have to take over! :) Thank you, Fx! Best Blomman
You have come a long way since, Tony! :)

Me, I have been distracted by other brands.... But one day I will come back and go a bit deeper into Rolex! :) Cheers Blomman
Superb.

Interesting to see so many collectors have gone the same path.... First watch: Rolex. Keeper in the collection: Reverso..... Are we that predictable...? Best Blomman
congrats Blomman...

...not uncommon or perhaps not the most beautiful, but one of the few that I consider unsellable. my daily 4 eva :) best, c
Yes, unsell-able....
By: blomman Mr Blue : September 21st, 2014-01:51
Thank you, Chris. Yes, this one I could never sell! But, if you know me, you know that goes for most of my watches... Shop is closed! ;) Best Blomman
I think 1999 was the first or the second year....

With the Swiss Made dial. (The experts can surely tell us exact). Interesting, we are at least 4 persons choosing the 16600 as our first watch in this thread! :) Thank you, TS! Best Blomman
The 16600 was my first Rolex...

...bought with my own money in June 1999, an A-series with early Luminova "Swiss"-dial. I was so happy to find it in Copehagen as they were absolutely unavailable in Switzerland at the time! I would never part with it either! My first Rolex, however, was ...
We have a lot in common, Anatol!

So you got your 16600 for your 30's birthday? :) Only a couple of month before me! Also for my 30's... Best Blomman
My first mechanical watch
By: TS1987 : September 21st, 2014-06:41
was not the Rolex. The Rolex was my 25th. The 16600 was my first Rolex however and joined by a 116400 later on. I started out with Girard Perregaux.. I had a sunburst 1963 Gyromatic
GP was your first! :)
By: blomman Mr Blue : September 21st, 2014-12:19
Here in Sweden GP is not very well known.... So I think not many Swedes choose a GP as their first watch! Best Blomman
Indeed they do!
