First expensive watch gift then .. Dunhill Millineium watch steel and gold filled with quartz movement 33mm . I use to wear it school in 1989… the Roman numeral dial was my weakness and right after that my father gave me a Rolex Precision winding …

Which was your first luxury watch ?

It was Swatch , Swatch  ... and Swatch
At 16 my dream was a speedster but no way I could afford it, I bought a Tissot Rockwatch at that time.
Around 22 - 24  I saved ( washing dishes in a restaurant during the weekend) and bout a Rolex Sub. That was in 1995-1996.
Bought it at the AD and paid 2100 euro .... which was list -10%.

That was about 28 years ago smile

Amazing journey ! Respect ✊

Got it as a present from my grandparents many,many years ago. Borrowed it to my wife....who has mislaid it. Grrrr.

A cool watch - and back then (mid to late 80s) a mechanical watch was not a common sight. 

It certanly was one of the catalysts for my later disease.....😏

Still enjoying it despite its relative small size

Cool. Had never realized there were two versions!
