Collector Description
A little bit of context: I inherited the Omega Aquaterra from my grandfather; it's very special to me as it was the last watch on his wrist when he passed away (I wear it the most).
My grandfather gave me the Patek before he passed; it's a Nautilus 3700/11AJ (thin bracelet). It generally works, but the minute hand is loose for some reason - tends to go backwards when moving the watch around. We discovered the watch together when looking through some of his old items - he wore it for a while but it kept stopping (and so it needed to be sent to Switzerland - via the authorized dealer- to be repaired). However, it continually had issues. He kinda gave up on it since he had to keep sending it back (hence the Omega) - so I'll have to get it properly fixed when I have the funds in the future.
I purchased the Zenith as a bit of a left field choice after my watch got stolen (got mugged - my fault) - regretfully it was a Rolex Batman GMT Master II. The Rolex was a university graduation gift. I wanted something a bit different after the Rolex was stolen (it was stolen just before the values went insane 🙃).
The Tudor is my brother's watch (but he hardly wears it), and the Tag was my first real watch (a high school graduation gift). It's had its fair share of issues - I don't wear it much these days.
