Q: How did you get into watch collecting?

Genuinely don't know, assume I was tricked somehow.

Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?

F91w. More recently (since interest in watches), a Timex T2n721.

Q: Do you have a watch with a particularly interesting story behind it?

No. Tragic, isn't it?

Q: What is one piece of advice you have for someone just getting into watches?

Run, or put some sort of lock on your bank account.

Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?

Smiths (the old one, not the new rebranded stuff), Enicar (again, the vintage stuff), Longines, Tissot

Q: What is your grail watch and why?

Speedmaster, because I used to work on Apollo lunar regolith samples as a Post Doc and would love to own the main moonwatch (I have a Lunar Pilot already).
