Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?
A seiko snzf17 sea urchin
Q: Do you have a watch with a particularly interesting story behind it?
My urchin. It was a college beater late 90s. When it got scuffed I tossed it in a drawer and forgot about it. One day back in 2015 as I was starting my formal watch collecting journey, I remembered it. Took it out of the drawer, gave it a good shake, lo and behold it came alive. That's when I decided to mod it, to breathe new life into it. The watch is still in my collection to this day.
