Love to walk (a lot!) and a watch enthusiast for over 25 years. Here to connect and learn. And if I'm lucky to share.
Sold all my (18) watches about 12 years ago to finance our plans. Now slowly building up my new (and totally different) collection.

This is for me the ultimate Rolex. Two weeks ago I experienced this watch in the metal and on my wrist. Had a hard time giving it back to the owner ☺️ But 100k Euro is a bit (way too) steep.
The one and only watch i bought at the spur of the moment was a Swatch - one of the sistem 51 calibres. I kind of like the fact that this is the first caliber that is put together by robots an machines - no human hands. The first few weeks i wore it quite a bit bit, now it never gets and wrist time anymore. I keep it as a reminder not to buy Watches on a whim ☺️
