What Was Your First “Luxury” Watch?

Hi All! 


I am new, and this is my first post on this site. 

I want to ask, what was your first “luxury” watch? Or, perhaps, what watch do you hope it will be?

For myself, it was the Rolex 16030.

Easy answer for me - the standard issue Omega Speedmaster. Cheers, Filip

Do you have a photo?

That is a GREAT piece!

My "first" was a 1958 Geophysic: It was my grandfather's who left it my father, who gave it to me. But the first one I bought was my Breguet: Some say I started my watch collecting on a high note. Some would say they are correct ...  

Excellent!

I need to look back at the registration card, I think I got it in 2010. ...  

After giving it a lot of thought I decided upon Omega.

The brand zeitgeist really spoke to me. I wanted a waterproof (I still like that word) Chrono and after trying on the PO that was it. It is still my desert island watch and I use it as a true tool watch to this day. The photo I took the day I bought it… ...  

I bought a Lange 101.031 from a guy on C24 after selling a company
