Thanks for the posting Salman. You are kind too think that I haven't aged. Remind of that first thing in the morning. Still, it beats the alternative.

Doing the interview was a lot of fun. I was honored to be invited and happy to share some of my watches and stories. Of course, there are many more watches and stories in the book (an absolute unabashed ad for my book). All kidding aside, the true fulfillment of being a collector is the ability to share the joy and passion with friends and collectors of all stripes. I hope to create a conversation amongst collectors to encourage them to tell their stories and to have people interested in watches
