Collector Description
These two are the stars of my quartz-lection. I’ve actually bought and sold a surprising number of automatic watches with similar aesthetics because I’ve put in years as a mechanic / engineer and I love over-complicated machines but I just haven’t found anything that clicks with me as well as these. Guess I just have a thing for racing-inspired panda-dial quartz watches.
