Is there a watch that was influential for you in your youth ? An image that could be the origin of your interest towards timepiece?
In my case the watch my older (and late) brother wore when I was a kid.
It was exactly the same as this one, I found the picture in the first pages of this thread. A Breitling Navitimer from mid 1960s.

A 1675 Pepsi GMT really struck a chord with me as a kid because my Dad had one . It was colorful, sporty, and looked different from other watches. I wanted one too, and I started learning about various Rolex models. When I got my first good watch, it was a few years late and the 1675 had been replaced by thge 16750 which had the white gold lum surrounds.
