Q: How did you get into watch collecting?

2010 I was skiing in vail with one of my closest friends. I left on a Thursday, got home, I was tried from skiing and the travel. The phone rang.. It was my buddy he ask if I could go to his home, because the the fireman and police were there. I went and when I got there, OH BOY total Sh_T Show!!! Well I took the next 3 days helping clean, clear and get the him home gutted. With help of professionals, we preserve art work, rugs, and too many of lifespan's little treasures, that mean more to him and his wife than I know. (I never told him how bad it was or sent or pics) He took the easiest flight back that was three day later. I met him and went to his home. ( I had very thing gutted and cleaned up. That was just the start, 8 mouths later they moved back. We went out too dinner sometime later that year and he gave me a beautiful Breitling Super Ocean. I was amazed that I never looked at watch or understood the craftsmanship that took to create this thing of beauty. Shame on me. Me a craftsman myself double shame. Knowing this little mechanized machine keeps time, and that there are more complicated complication that are handmade WOW! Great Rabbit Hole. So September 2010 was the date
