Collector Description
I have been collecting watches for a few years now, but while I do enjoy and admire the complexity and finesse of a mechanical watch, you can't beat the comfort offered by an always working quartz.
Not much to say about the Seiko's are they're pretty readily available, but I consider this Aubry era Doxa to be the find of a lifetime. I never expected to get my hands on one, specially one in such an amazing condition.
These are the watches I wear about 300 days / year.
