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.

NOBODY READS ABOUT MY NON-HYPED WATCHES
In real estate, it’s location, location, location. In watch collecting, it’s hype, hype, hype.
I’ve gone back to Rolex, but this time 36 mm and for good. In watch collecting ,one must know thyself.

I should stop searching for the perfect watch. I already own it – the Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167a.
So to all Aquanaut lovers out there who are few and far between, if you are desperately searching for an Aquanaut equivalent purchase a Chronometre Bleu (evil snicker snicker snicker).
I’M TOO OLD AND TIRED OF THIS WATCH WAITING GAME. WHY MY VACHERON CONSTANTIN OVERSEAS PURCHASE WAS A WELCOME RELIEF

A SINGLE BOLD PREDICTION FOR THE NEW 5711 – à la Vacheron-Constantin Overseas
Mr. Stern, can you grant me any stainless steel Nautilus for being so gutsy leaping forward with untrammelled folly?
Getting an authoritative education on watches – relevant literature (PART 3)
