Cartier Santos 2961 - I was given this watch by my father after getting my Bachelor's Degree, who was given this watch for making his first successful business deal in the early 1980s
Hamilton Jazzmaster Seaview Auto - This was my first automatic watch purchased at the age of 18, and is what got me into this hobby. Still addicted 10 years later!
