Do you still own your when all starts watch?

This Citizen has been with me for 10 years now and was one of the watches where it all started. I think I will never forget how difficult it was for me to find this watch at the right price and it will not go away from the collection.

Still wear it in the rotation. First watch I ever owned, Orient Mako Gen I. 👌🏻

This is from Sept '23, on the first strap I ever bought from CountyComm back in '07.

And I have used and will continue to use it for work too! #useyourtools 🤘🏻.

No, I've always had watches since I was a child in the early 80's.

The left was my E-4 watch, and the left was my E-5. None of my Fossils or Timex seem to last longer than a month. I decided to take a chance and spend a little bit more money on a Marine Star. 20 years later, they still work

No, I sold it because it was just sitting in the box unworn. Sold it for someone else to enjoy.

I do not have the first watch I ever got but I do still have the first watch I ever thought about or picked specifically because I had really started to like watches. The collection starter! Of course even then I told myself this would be “the one” and I was good about it for a while then I got a little outta control but now I’m firmly back in control. My newfound ability to resist a purchase may or may not be because of all the promises I made Mrs. Nicely in 2023 to secure the inventory I was able to obtain this past year. To be clear we are talking about hundreds of dollars, not thousands. 🌈

C. I wish I had held on to my first watches

It's nothing special and my taste changed a bit since then, but it's very comfortable, has nice specs and I even got some compliments on it (the sunburst dial looks lovely). I want to keep it forever as it started it all for me.
