Collector Description
Here’s a snapshot of my collection after getting into watches 3 years ago. I tend to favor smaller watch sizes - sub 40mm. But still have a couple of bigger (G Shock & Seiko SRPD Mod) ones as well. Got into modding a little bit just for fun. My daily wearers are the bottom row but I’ll switch it up depending on how I’m feeling day to day. Having access to different straps/bracelets is the key for me. Hope you enjoy!
