I did really well at school but that didn't help me much in working life....it must have been me, not the profession i chose. And so i haven't made bags & bags of money..... born in 1968, not exactly cash-strapped but without a doubt, the likes of Omega, Longines & Tissot, new or used, are just way beyond my capacity, however, permitted by the country i am now living in & being trully blessed, i was as recent as covid's able to start collecting some absolute genuine & original vintage Seiko & Citizen watches in absolute immaculate conditions. For me nostalga is everything in this collection - just from looking at every single watch & its details i get this beautiful sense of "re-living the eras of the 70s & the 80s".
