Yes, I still have my first watch . . .

. . . which was a Christmas gift back in '68. Unfortunately, I haven't worn it in many years as it's in dire need a watchmaker's attention. It's the project at the bottom of the priority list. Some day . . .

Sadly not. I had two first watches.

The one gifted by my Godfather, a timex, for my 7th Xmas, which drove me to watch madness, totally. And my first real watch, bought in 1997, a GMT MASTER 16700. Sadly, I don't own them... Really sad. Best, Nicolas

Indeed sad to hear that you dont own them anymore . Great watches imo.

Did you sold them or was it because of the burglary you had many years ago if i remember well ?
