Q: How did you get into watch collecting?
I got tired of my Apple Watch. I watched a zillion YouTube videos. I ended up getting a Mido Ocean Star diver. Actually, I still have a few of the watches I wore in the 1980’s and 1990’s, none of which are the slightest bit collectible.
Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?
Timex kids watch I got for my birthday when I was about six.
Q: Do you have a watch with a particularly interesting story behind it?
No.
Q: What is one piece of advice you have for someone just getting into watches?
Since I am just getting into watches, I really don’t have any advice.
Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?
I am basically a cheapskate. I have been looking at Vostok and San Martin watches.
Q: What is your grail watch and why?
When I was in my early 20s, way back in the mid 1980s, I wanted a Rolex Submariner. At that time, it was pretty easy to buy one but, of course, I didn’t have any money. I would still like to own one, but realistically, that’s not going to happen.
