Collector Description
One year in to this crazy new obsession. I’ve always loved watches and had some beaters as a kid, but had been wearing an Apple Watch for a few years before I went down the watch world rabbit hole while recovering from a surgery.
Got the BB Pro for a daily beater and travel watch, and just fell in love with the Zenith while browsing on a trip to Vegas. Next up, I’m looking for a birth year vintage Omega and for my 50th I’m leaning towards a JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon. I’d like to think I’ll stop with those four, but there are so many watches I’d love to own!
