Started with a Tag as well. Still have it. Probably would only buy tag if Rolex wasnt around. Rolex is Tags big brother in the jewelry store.

I discovered Rolex early on in the 80's in miami during the drug era everyone seemed to have a Rolex except me and I wanted one but could not afford
it. it wasn't till I was in my 40's that I could have one. my 1st Rolex was a Sub TT Black bezel K series 2002, my 2nd was a Sub SS date D series 2006, now I own a DSSD V series and I am very happy with it, My next Rolex will be a YM TT white dial but I want it with an updated bracelet so I will wait.....

A whole bunch mainly mickey mouse watches, casios, Oris but I know it will eventually be a Rolex on my wrist. I remember seeing Rolex ads on newspapers n asking myself 'What kind of a man do I have to be to be able to wear one of those'.

Casio,Swatch,Citizen eco drive(4yrs still wearing for work & in a prety sorry state, can't use the crown because it comes off & I can't adjust anything. Tissot, Longgine cosmograph traded that in for the Omega Seamaster Sword hands, Rolex Sub-Date. Very happy to own the Seamaster and extremely happy & proud to own the Sub. Hopefully I can own more CROWNS.

Tag and Rolex are two differet classes of watches. Tag's are nice but not even parallell with Omega and Ebel, IMO. Wife has a Tag that is TT gold plated with Swarovski crystal MOP dial. Won't find TT gold plated or Swarovski in vintage or new Omega, Ebel or Rolex!!

I started off with a Tag 200 meter quartz Diver that my wife Bought me in 1996. I wore it religiously until May of 2005 when I purchased my SD....and the rest is history. Tag makes a quality watch, and trust me, I beat the heck out of that thing! I have only changed the battery once, and I noticed last night that the battery had stopped. I'm not sure what Tag's service center is like, but it will make a great watch for my son in a few years, so I may have it cleaned up.

First "nice" watch was a black face, ss bracelet Tag Carrera. Still have it but it does not get much wrist time anymore. Next one was a polar Exp II that I regrettably traded. Oops!

Started with a Cartier...

which barely ever gets worn now (too small now... thinking of giving it to my girlfriend). Hey Safetrends, my dad has that same watch but with a white dial. You're right, scratch magnet, but a helluva great watch. He absolutely loves it.
