A Stainless Steel Fossil watch with a black face, at the time it was the best looking watch I saw. Four years later, I have a GMT II that looks just like it.

NOT TRUE!!!!, TAG started in 1985 when it resurrected the old humble and great Heuer Brand (just as Blanpain did around that era )which were very affordable prior to this time . I recall some great Heuer models selling for as little as $80 back when a new Omega sold for $600. TAG is short for technique Avant Garde. Prior to 1985 you would never see a TAG. As for TAG history, it is just another eta mvt or borrowing a Zenith El Primero in the more expensive chronographs. Amazing what marketing can do to those who just go with the flow without knowing what they are buying.

BTW, my first watch was a NOS Omega Constellation with a 561 mvt purchased in 1980 from a watchmaker with lots of old stock that never sold who only displayed digital quartz watches which everybody wanted except me. He thought I was a weirdo as I did not conform to the new fad. I still highly prize the Omega with original warranty and chronograph certificate!!!

When I got my GMT IIc, I actually toyed with the idea of selling the Kirium since it will get significantly less wrist time.
However, after reading all the responses here, I think I will keep the Kirium for memory sake because most people regretted letting go of their first serious watch.

I had a multi function Seiko sports quartz watch, then picked up an OSP, then got my first Rolex on my honeymoon. A coke GMT. Never looked back.

None, I wore Casio G Shocks before I got my first Rolex, in 1994.

1970 Seiko diving watch.

A zenith 18k Dress watch. A beautiful piece inherited from my father which he inherited from my Grandfather.
Far too nice to wear as a daily. Far too precious to do anything to except occasionally take out and hold. It makes an outing on my wrist for very special occasions only.
Hence, a sub on it's way into my life.
