I had a Tag when I was in my late teens.

I always new I'd want a Rolex and I've never looked back. I am thinking about adding a GS or a Pam next.

Timex Ironman - 10, Tissot (forget the model but still have it) - 16, Tag Formula 1 - 18, Omega/Tudor/Rolex sickness began about 24 and hasn't ended.

Tissot in my teens, stolen during a robbery... replaced with Seiko Lassal (still have it)
Replaced in my 20's with a Seiko, my son found when he was still crawling but could throw....
Thus came the Tag Heuer in my 30's (still have it).
Wanted a Rolex for my 50th, but was very poorly aged 43.... Submariner bought.... from then on it has become a little of a passion, last was the Daytona. I did buy a Tudor also just for variety...

I had a Longines Wittinaur (sp) while in college and at age of 24 bought my first Rolex, a DJ.

[lapince]

the watch before my first Rolex, a sub C date, was, and for many years, almost 10, a blue Omega Seamaster, which I was wearing daily, but I also had a 2 tone Cartier Santos Dumont, and a Breitling chrono Class J, unfortunately the Breilting and Cartier (still have the Cartier) were quartz pieces, not the Omega which was, as far as I know, an ETA movement

[joesephcho]

my first nice watch was a victorinox my sisters bought me in 2000 or 2001...i was 21. Bought my sub nd at 30 when i got a new job that paid me approx 30% more. very grateful and blessed/ fortunate to own a few nice timepieces.
