When I was around 16 I wanted a really nice watch , my grandfather always said a man should wear a nice watch. So I saved and saved and finally amassed 500 bucks. I drove to St. Louis and I was going to get me a rolex lol. I was discouraged to find out that the most basic no date oyster perpetual model started at $2800. Soooooo I settled for a nice shiny seiko. From that day on I wanted a rolex. I finally got my first one about 10 years later and have been spiraling out of control ever since. I still own every watch I've ever owned including that seiko
