Wow, you already had that fierce forum moderator look even then. I guess it does no harm to start young.

My first watch was a Mickey-Mouse watch my grandma got me when we were in Singapore.

Post by: sshark on August 24, 2012, 12:33:41 PM: I didn;'t know to wear it on the right or left. Then someone told me gals wear on right and guys wear on left. then some said left hand is the correct hand

Post by: swleong on August 24, 2012, 04:13:49 PM: my earliest memory of wearing a watch is a watch from Kentucky Fried Chicken (that time they still use full name), a plastic watch that can turn into a robot figure.

Post by: 7thfort on August 24, 2012, 09:24:25 PM: many budget watches back in the 60's were hand wound and not waterproof. only started wearing watch in secondary school, some unknown brand. when i started working, save enough money to buy a seiko bellmatic for RM120.00

Post by: MerzT on August 24, 2012, 11:21:06 PM: I can only remember when I appreciate wearing watch because it was my expensive Casio digital watch .. The trend when Casio electro luminence was hot

Back then I was very protective on my watch and There was a time there is a hit whereby u go and buy glass protective cage like rubber to put on your watch for rm 1

Those were the days

Title: Re: Earliest memory of your self wearing a watch
Post by: 7thfort on August 25, 2012, 08:10:57 PM: since watches then were hand wound and the crown is on the right, it is only logical to wear the watch on the left hand.
