My first nice watch was a Tag TT Link Automatic Chronograph that I had for almost 3 years. Gave it to my step dad about 3 months ago when I bought my new No Date SS Sub. These are the only 2 nice watches I have ever owned. Having the sub now, I probably won't ever buy another watch. I am with watches like I am with women. I am a one watch/woman man.

Movado got me started on loving watches!

pcst · 24 June 2010, 01:29 AM

I jumped from Seiko to Rolex :)

chris russell · 24 June 2010, 02:21 AM

Still like'em.

rad87gn · 24 June 2010, 02:33 AM

Citizen, Seiko, Casio where the main watches I collected before I got into luxury watches.

utc66 · 24 June 2010, 03:09 PM

Started with a Timex at age 6

Wore non-descript usually company branded watches - anyone remember Drakkar cologne? They had a matching watch.

Waltham pocketwatch, Swatch, Kenneth Cole pocketwatch

Mondaine wristwatch &'pocketwatch, Alpha, Ollech & Wajs Mirage III

Then...

Rolex SD and now PAM112 are my main two.

Omega Seamaster

Lamone · 24 June 2010, 04:07 PM

My first Rolex opened the door to a new world for me.

I have always wore quartz movements, and my watch prior to my first Rolex was my Gucci 101M Round "Day-Date"

Gagebuilder · 8 July 2010, 06:52 AM

I had a life of Sadness and Depresson before my first Rolex!

Actually, I bought a used Rolex first, then a couple Tag Heuer.

Go figure!

level · 8 July 2010, 06:52 AM

Omega SMP pre-bond. Still have it today and wear occasionally.

zeuloa · 8 July 2010, 06:55 AM

Swiss Army and Swatch..... the SA is in a drawer and wife wears the Swatch.....

psv · 8 July 2010, 06:59 AM

Citizen divers > various, including Longines Admiral white dial with a Valjoux 7750 movement that I never should have sold

SKSeoul81 · 8 July 2010, 07:01 AM

Tissot, Tag Heuer, 2x Rolex

Watch Professor · 8 July 2010, 07:06 AM

Started with a Tag SeL, then a Tag 4000. a Tag Link, Omega Constellation, Omega Constellation "Double Eagle", several Seikos, Swiss Army, Citizen Eco-Drives, and Esq. (all sold). Two that I have kept and wear in rotation are two Concord Saratogas. What pushed all of the above out were getting my two Rolexes- GMT IIC and Sub Date.

Still have:

TheLino · 8 July 2010, 07:35 AM

Seiko monsters and then Omega Seamasters. I still have them.

sirjohnbrian · 8 July 2010, 07:51 AM

Bulova Accutron. We lived in Queens, NY.

timeisfathaoftruth · 8 July 2010, 12:02 PM

Concord Saratoga

Mr. Greene · 8 July 2010, 12:10 PM

my first real watch was my seiko I got when I started high school, a gift from my parents which i still have to this day 26 years later.

Young Connoisseur · 8 July 2010, 12:16 PM

Tag Heuer, and Citizen.

Buying a SD within a month or two, can't wait.

I cannot STAND this Tag anymore, it is horribly inaccurate..

Atomant · 8 July 2010, 12:31 PM

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'.

Wonderful collection I wish I don't have to go through as much watch to finally settle down on my grails. Btw I notice that the SS on your ROlex got different tone which is exactly what mine is as well. I posted a thread on it few months ago. I guess you're able to capture it on camera and I couldn't.

Tek · 8 July 2010, 03:22 PM

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.

Andrés G · 8 July 2010, 03:50 PM

The Omega Seamaster 225450 was my first "real" watch.

Mockingbird · 8 July 2010, 04:02 PM

I was pretty heavy into JLC, IWC, and Omega before Rolex.

Post pics of your other watches if you got them

I was a TAG Heuer guy as well - I think they are great watches for teens to mid 20's. Of course now that I'm in my late 20's I thought I needed to step-up so to speak :)

My first expensive watch was an Omega Seamaster in SS and 18K. I regret getting rid of it. :(
