Collector Description
Pretty content with the SOTC after 13 years of collecting.
Hamilton Khaki Field Auto - A gift from my wife about 10 years ago (then-girlfriend) when we were fresh out of grad school. The quintessential field watch in my opinion.
Rolex Explorer 214270 mk 1 - My most sentimental watch. It has been on wrist for the important events in my life. A GADA watch.
Seiko SKX013 - My most recent pick up. Outdoor activity watch. Fits my smaller wrist perfectly.
Zodiac Super Seawolf GMT - My summer watch. I have fun rotating the strap colors (blues and greys mostly) and materials (rubber and different leathers) on this one.
Patek Aquanaut - My most worn at the moment. Love the design and elegant clasp. Another GADA watch.
Rolex Day-Date - Inherited this watch. Love the Roman numerals and the sportier oyster bracelet. Special occasion watch.
I miss having a dress watch so may look to add one next. Probably a JLC or maybe a Vacheron. I’m also a big fan of Nomos.
Gone but not forgotten: Vacheron Overseas 4500v Patek 5196g Omega Speedy Pro (with 3861 movement) Seiko Alpinist Seiko SKX009 Seiko Turtle SRPB01K1 Casio F91W-1
