Collecting watches since 40 years... until I was fed up by the quality standards of the big Swiss brands what made me selling them all and taking a rest for 10 years. Then started again, but today I definitely do not spend more than 1.000€ for a watch - even if my heart starts beating...
So now I am impressed by the quality of niche brands, as well as from the big Japanese companies.
I am from Germany and came back to German watches some years ago.
May be I will give some hints for collectors - if time allows...
