Real Estate investor based in northern New Jersey.
Though I have loved and owned watches since 2010, I decided to start over in 2023. My goal is to build a collection that is meaningful to me. My tastes in watches have evolved numerous times; I enjoy mostly vintage timepieces and watches with a more classic aesthetic.
In addition to watches, I love cars, winemaking and spending time with my wife and our golden retriever. I also collect numerous items in addition to watches.
I'm looking forward to talking watches with you all.
Cheers!

Thank you for the info!
The two-hander is running well, but I’ll lightly oil it when my oilers arrive tomorrow.
The three-hand is ticking, but I put the hand on wrong so I don’t know if it’s keeping good time yet. The bigger issue is it doesn’t wind well. I’ll have to give it another look. Scenario, I have another marlin I can disassemble for parts
I only collect watches that have sentimental value or that I’ve earned in some way… I may buy a watch outside of those parameters, but I don’t have a problem selling those.
