Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?
my first serious watch was a Citizen eco drive, this was around 2011 - was quite expensive but it's still working down to the last second today - it's Radio controlled so it should. I've had previous watches but are lost in time
Q: Do you have a watch with a particularly interesting story behind it?
King Seiko KS 5626-7060, purchased a very good example from Japan and had it fully restored, it was a commerative gift to a Japanese person for a work anniversary in 1971, it's now restored and running to 1s a day. I have purchased the elusive 15mm KS buckle so it's complete. A marvellous example of the quality that came out of Japan during the 60s and 70s
