I was given the exact model of this watch for my birthday as a boy in the early 1970s, and stumbled across this on eBay in excellent condition 50 years later.

Needless to say I had to have it. We are all Rolex fans but I like to think first and foremost we are simply watch fans. Now looking for a 1960s Timex Marlin lol

I just picked up this new Tissot PRX… Not all watches have to be about $$$$$!

Actually, my favorite brand really isn't very pricey..

Good for you. My first watch was a snoopy Seiko watch circa 1970. I found one on ebay, had it serviced and gave it to my 6 year old boy. Watches to me are all about memories. Wear in good health and enjoy your memories :)

I scored a seiko h558 back in November. It was the watch that got me into watches in the first place. It’s not an investment, but has more meaning to me than a PP and AP combined. It not simply a thing, but has a story for me.

My first watch when I was about 5 years old was a Timex diver on a rubber strap with a plastic bezel and water resistant to like 3ATM. I thought it was awesome I could get it wet playing outdoors and bathe with it. This one is a bit nicer but is a lot like my first watch.
