The first watch that I like, saved money and purchased was a Pulsar Stainless Steel Diver's Watch. It stayed on my wrist for approximately 4 years. Loved the watch, was with me during my university years. When I started working I then replaced the Pulsar with my first luxury watch the Tag heuer 1200 series. My fiance who is now my wife bought the exact same watch but in the ladies size of course. We had a his and hers watch which was kind of cute. The Tag Heuer I wore for about 4 years.

Then in 2002 on my first major promotion in the Bank I work for, I decided to splurge a little and bought my first ever Omega a Seamaster 2531.80 this watch I really like a lot way back 1997 during the time when Pierce Brosnan took over as 007 and is still the watch I am currently on my wrist. So as not to get upset on my purchase, I bought my wife an Omega Constellation stainless steel on our anniversary.

So that's my story. The Seamaster has been with me for 5 years now (how time flies) It will be hard for me to replace this watch since it really has brought me luck (career wise and family) So even later on when I decide to buy my first Rolex the Seamaster will always remain with me no matter what and can never be replaced.
