Q: How did you get into watch collecting?

Bought an MVMT fashion chronograph as an expression of personal style, eventually realized it was crap and got into better quality starting with a Timex Weekender.

Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?

I think it was a Bulova my grandfather gave me when I graduated from HS.

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

My first grail, B&M Capeland Chronograph. I saw a Tim Mosso's (Watchbox) video review when I first got seriously into watches and fell hopelessly in love, until I saw the price (like falling in love with the Princess of Monaco before you knew she was the Princess). I bought a similar Dan Henry instead. Later, I found out that B&M RRPs are wildly high just as my financial situation took a turn for the better and purchased the B&M gray market and sold the DH.

Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?

Nomos, Hamilton, Oris

Q: What is your grail watch and why?

Nomos Metro Silvercut because it's the highest quality within my spending limits (actually extending it considerably).
