Bulova
Feb 12, 2019,07:49 AM
My parents gave me a Bulova , manual -wind wrist watch for Christmas of 1975. I was 10 years old.With that watch, I was THE MAN!
I wore the Bulova every day faithfully. Then, in November, 1986 I bought the only “Brand New” watch in my collection. It came from an Authorized Rolex dealer in California. It’s a GMT Master in Steel. The cat was out of the bag! In 1998 I bought a Patek Philippe 5056. It’s been all Patek all the time since then.How I wish I still had that humble ( very dependable) Bulova from Christmas of 1975. I have no idea what happened to it.

and you must have good memories with this first watch. I unfortunately did not keep my first watch because an electric watch like Casio can not last that long. so I recently bought a black metal G Shock as a memory of my first watch. ...
