Clicked for the Moonswatches, stayed for the straps! Fantastic. I would also need the Venus for completion, so I salute your resistance to OCD.

Did you need to buy a Baltany to prove you were really interested and a watch person?

I really enjoy building watches and it gives you a real appreciation for the skill that goes into the creation of these machines. It has helped in what I buy, but I have also found that because I can build my own, my tastes for watches that I buy has actually got more expensive, as the things that I cant do at home are things like bespoke cases or bring 100 years of brand heritage.... so beware! 😀
