Q: How did you get into watch collecting?
Always wore a watch even as a child. Went from Mickey Mouse to Evel Knievel, to TI and then on to Swatch and G Shocks. Now I have a major problem. 😆
Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?
Ingersoll Mickey Mouse watch
Q: Do you have a watch with a particularly interesting story behind it?
When the Black Bay first came out, no one sold Tudor in the US. I tried every store that sold Rolex and asked if they could order one, none could. Luckily my wife and I went on a Caribbean cruise, which had a stop at Grand Cayman. I found a store that had one. It was on hold for someone else, but they told me I could have it if I wanted. I took it!
