Q: How did you get into watch collecting?
My Dad's watches always intrigued me. Nothing fancy, mostly Casio & Timex

Probably a Timex or Smith's. White dial, silver Arabic's, on a red white and blue "NATO"
Q: Do you have a watch with a particularly interesting story behind it?
Yes Bought my Dad the first Aqua Terra quartz for Xmas a few years ago. He wore it for a while, then decided it was too expensive to wear,so was going to sell it .... Being such a lovely piece,& as it'd been part of Dad's life 24/7 (like me he sleeps, showers & does everything wearing it) I bought it back from him at at much reduced price. It now is firmly one of my favourite pieces, & kind ole Pa used the money I'd paid him to put towards a surprise car we bought my Better half 😀❤️
