Q: How did you get into watch collecting?
About 30 years ago my Father bought me an old railroad grade pocket watch at an auction. I've been interest in mechanical watch movements ever since. Several years ago our youngest child moved out for the last time and suddenly we had some extra money. I bought my first mechanical watch a short time after that.

Seiko SNK809 was the first automatic watch I ever owned. I had quite a few Timex, Fossil, fashion watches when I was younger.
