Hello! I'm a watch/machine nerd living in the Seattle area. I've had a career as a bike mechanic but now I work at a desk and talk on the phone all day. In my spare time I tinker with bikes and watches when I'm not trying to travel, ride bikes, or go on hikes. I have been collecting for several years and I am particularly fond of Seiko - typical, I know. Looking forward to chatting!

My primary interest is mechanical watches and I tend to favor the mechanical version of any particular thing where a digital counterpart exists. This is really a matter of personal preference, though. Quartz is an amazing technology, especially when you get into high end quartz like 9f or the high end Citizen stuff (my Seiko fanboy is showing). Quartz certainly is no less relevant to horology and no less deserving of enthusiasm, imo.
Thanks, I think it really classes up the watch and makes it easier to grip.
I still wear my SPB more, it's just such a great watch. The max bill is a definite favorite as well.
The camera didn't even get used , haha. I acquired it from a friend and I'm figuring it out
