I’ve worn watches my whole life with some Rolexs bought 40 years ago when an average employed guy could afford them and Seikos a Timex or two long gone. Nothing special until I recently got a little more serious about building my collection. I’m in Silicon Valley creeping up on retirement.
Up to over 20x, Moon Speedy, BB GMT (it is cheaper to buy in Switzerland), love Wise Timepieces, Couple Tissots, TAG Carrera (of course), Chris. Ward (real beauty and so well made), Spinnaker and a few other cool micro brands too (fun watches). Having fun modding.

Which strap/band do you prefer?
So this week I wore my Speedy 3 days in a row with a different strap/band each day, WRUW. It really is a strap monster. I’ll always be swapping them from time-to-time, as I do with many of my watches....

NATO strap, what to do, what do you do?
I’m always swapping straps, bands, bracelets. This way I get new watches all the time. I like a nice NATO but they often have tails that are too long. What do you guys do/like, tuck, let it fly or sho...
