Q: Do you have a watch with a particularly interesting story behind it?
I am scuba diver with 20 years of experience. The usual practice is to be specialized. I have a dive computer, which is synced with tank analyser. It shows the pressure in the tank, air conditions inside etc. My first watches were Longines Legend Diver Bronze. And, as I am against using dive watches underwater, I never would use that. BUT. It's September, NY cold ocean water, visibility is almost zero, 7 am and I forgot the dive computer. The dive was really interesting. Longines definitely helped me! The only downside was the bronze that changed the color.
Q: What is one piece of advice you have for someone just getting into watches?
Make the final decision of the purchase based on your personal style - not on anything else. How you dress, how people see you, what do you do on everyday basis.
