Yep, the old friends and family sales at 50% off is where I got my first few as well, the good ole days!! Looking back should have bought a lot more at those prices.Always loved the Blade blue face when it
came out, but being in junior high, there was no way my parents were going to buy my a $400 watch.
A year went by and I managed to save enough for a rubber band watch for Xmas. Boxing day came up and a Titanium Bullet was on sale, got that thing, and wore it for 5 years straight and I still have it.
A judge 1 came up next, then a transfercase, and finally a Double Tap, all purchased from an O store at 50% off lol. Then I found the o forum and got broke lol
