My first "expensive" watch when I got out of school in mid 1990s was a quartz TAG (still have it). I thought it was so expensive and I actually walked out of the store and did not buy it ....until my wife convinced me that I work hard, deserve to treat mysel and I should buy it.
A few years later, I got into mechanical watches and have been collecting for almost three decades now.... (While being completely convinced that this TAG would be for sure my last quartz watch that I would ever buy).
FPJ Elegante fortunately changed that
