Anyone still got their first watch?

[Miocene]

I've got every watch I've ever had bar two I think. Frustratingly, the very first one, which was a gift for being a page boy at my Dads wedding age 6 or so (Timex IIRC) and a Casio I lost on a school trip.

Tell a lie... also lost a Casio with the reverse display drunk on a beach. It was about 3am, decided to go into the sea, took the watch off and put it on my jumper. Got out of the sea, picked up my jumper... bollocks. Managed to track another down, and would love to find the other two, but not sure I'd even recognise them now.

I got my first watch around 16/17 years of age and I cannot even remember what it looked like. I think it was a Bulova or some such similar name.

How funny. Only today I was clearing a lock up filled with my old possesions and came across one of, if not the first watch I bought myself with my own cash.

Loved it at the time. I recall the tyre tred strap was a desirable extra.

Now that looks like a watch for adventures!

My Keinzle manual is in a box in an attic and it must be at least 20 years since I last saw it.

I also have one of these Animal watches - bought in Newquay new I think and brings back happy memories of various surf trips.

I have the movement replaced and still wear it

First watch was a Timex for my schooldays, from the Argos catalogue.
Dunno where it is right now, probably scratched, unwound and unloved.
