Not my first but definitely the catalyst for this horror story. Wasn't much research about my Guess watch I bought my first year working to get me hooked, yet. This bad boy belonged to my late father-in-law. It will stay in our family. Plenty of research for Omega to get, and keep, one hooked.

For me it was a simple Tissot Visodate... Loved the simplicity of dial. When I got it, I didn't consider vintage as an option. Since discovering this forum and seeing some of the gorgeous classic pieces, I'm beginning to change my mind...

I was wondering if I was the only one to start with a Swatch (or three).
