Collector Description
It all started with the Carrera 02 Senna, and I fell in love with the mechanical movement, skeleton dial, and open case back. I grew up watching the Villeneuve vs Schumacher era of F1, and always wanted a Tag since those days.
But it was heavy (almost 300g!) and chunky, and so in quick order the omega was added. It is the world's best daily driver in my opinion, highly recommend.
The zenith came next, and while I love the history, insane movements (yes, it has two), the clasp is bloody awful and painful. It is a love hate relationship.
In between those, there's been a bunch of Casio and moonswatchs, which keeps things fun. This weekend, I got the swatch x blancpain collaboration, and was gifted a great little field watch as well. That brings things to ten, and now I need a bigger box.
I also need to figure out where to store these watch boxes as well ...
I guess it is a great problem to have! Good health!
