Collector Description
[SOTC] post divorce!
In my 30’s I had a pretty sick collection consisting of a sub, datejust, Navitimer world (46mm) etc. Make a long story short , I lost everything due to the divorce and legal fees. I was into watches but never appreciate what I had.
About 2 years ago, I started over at age 47. I have enjoyed the journey so much more this round. I started with an Orient Kamasu , love it and still own it (not included in pic). I put a lot of research and thought into my pieces now and truly appreciate what I have.
I’m just not sure where to go from here. I have my eyes on the Santos Dumont and will get another Rolex once the hype slows. Gold and two tone are also a thought. Any suggestions or feedback are appreciated that would round out my collection.
Thanks for looking !
