WELCOME TO THE WATCH JOURNEY
Please follow me while I evolve and learn in this lifelong hobby. My watch collection has been changing together as my tastes vary in brands, complications, price range and aesthetics. If watches are an expression of one’s personality, tastes and in essence, one’s DNA, then my fascination for watches will never end.

THIS PURCHASE IS BECAUSE OF YOU STEPHEN J. PULVIRENT AND GARY SHTEYNGART.
The sea is calm tonight.
The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the straits; on the French coast the (OP) light
Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand,
Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.
NEW PATEK ACQUISITION- 5146G-001 ANNUAL CALENDAR- A SPECIAL STORY
The paradox and enigma of Patek Philippe is that they design and manufacture such delicate and intricate watches with crazy complications but yet they are robust enough and intended to be worn everyday.
NEW WATCH ACQUISITIONS – Tudor Black Bay 58, Black and Blue
People who purchase the Tudor Black Bay 58 fall into two categories. One category is those who simply can’t yet afford a Rolex and are looking for an entry level luxury watch to hold them over until the Rolex comes.

SHOUT OUT TO THE WATCH BARON-THE AQUANAUT IS THE BEST SPORTS WATCH, PERIOD.
Since the day of purchase, it has become my TALISMAN. It accompanies me wherever I go and brings me good luck.
I simply cannot wear my Rolexes anymore-and don’t much want to either.
Let me start by saying that they are great watches. They are robust. They are super accurate. They are elegant and pretty enough. They retain their value and they are iconic. But that is not enough…
Emotional equity-Desirable watches have become much too valuable to wear carelessly nowadays.
The way we view our timepieces has changed forever and there will never be a personally desired mechanical timepiece that won’t beg the primary concern, future price earnings.
Does owning a Patek Philippe make me somewhat of a watch snob?
The short answer is a definite yes but not the way it is defined in the dictionary.
WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER JUDGE A WATCH UNTIL YOU’VE SEEN AND WORN IT-or until a bona fide watch expert has
My argument is that a watch enthusiast cannot legitimately comment either way, good or bad, on a timepiece unless they have seen it and worn it in the metal.
THE WATCH EQUATION
Little’s Law developed by MIT professor John Little, is a remarkably elementary but profound theorem in Queueing theory, the mathematical study of lines and queue wait times. It is predominantly used to estimate queue times in a retail business but the equation can be generalized to any stationary system, in our case, wait times for desirable watches.
