Q: How did you get into watch collecting?
Always had a fascination with the intricacies of clocks and particularly with the amazingly tiny inner workings of watches. A few years after my father passed, my mother needed a battery in her old watch that was kind of a match to one of two that were dad's I had put up. Took them both for a cleaning and on dad's a bit more refurbing, next thing I know I'm researching and following subreditts and really enjoying watches and people's collections. Mom pulled a couple more out of her old jewelry box, including her father's 1938 Hamilton Reagan, and my collection truly began.
Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?
Ever? Oh jeez, decades ago.. it would have been a Casio digital in the early 1980's. Couldn't say what particular model. I was in junior high school. (that's what we called middle school, back in the olden days)
Q: What is one piece of advice you have for someone just getting into watches?
Buy/wear what you like. This hobby is your own.
