I Found The Exact Moment I Got Into Watches

While watching Matt Farah on his podcast 'The Smoking Tire' back in Fall 2019 he made the following comments (@1:25:58):

And a few days later I got my first Seiko and first mechanical watch.

Then COVID happened, and well... there's been a few more watches added to the collection since.๐Ÿ˜‰

Itโ€™s funny isnโ€™t it when someone says something in passing and it really resonatesโ€ฆ.. โ€œmaybe I should check out some of theses cool seikosโ€ next thing you know youโ€™re on crunch and neck deep in watches lol

That gold turtle is cool btw, I got couple of turtles around that same time too, theyโ€™re definite โ€œgateway watchesโ€.

You also get a lot for your money with seiko & the turtle is really comfortable with its curved edges ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

The MM300 was the last Seiko I added to my collection and I absolutely love it.
