.....About 12-13 years later it was the digital Casio, which in mid-1990s followed with quartz TAG. My first automatic was in 2000 which was a two-tone Serti Submariner. After that it was all automatics for about 20 years and the lovely manual wind watches did not enter the collection until about 5 years ago. Frankly.... originally I did not care for them I thought they were just too old-fashioned and cumbersome.... but now I absolutely love them π
