Semi retired businessman from Japan. Visited 80 countries and resided in 4. Watch collection > 100 pieces, including digital / quartz, new and old, but no PP/VC (edit ; deleted AP from here because I forgot that I do have one AP in my collection). I also need to mention that my watch hobby is in its “maintenance phase”, and that I am no longer in “collecting mode”.
