My 20's 30's and 40's on One Wrist

For me, like many of us, each watch acquisition came at a certain milestone or life event. Each also just happened to come in its own decade of life.

The Tag: in my 20's. Got my first "grown up job."
The Breitling: in my early 30's. My dad passed away
The Rolex: Just turned 40. Got a big promotion

Very nice, it's nice when they represent a time or event in your life. One of the reasons I love watches so much.

I started Seiko, TAG, Omega, Breitling x 2, TAG, Rolex x 2 and all now passed on to Sons and sold and only DD 40 now. You've done it a few decades before me though - well done!
