I can appreciate cars, art, food, space travel, biotech breakthroughs, and even watches without owning a specific brand/complication/style (although it does helpβ¦). I think the most important aspects of the journey is the education (which evolves into appreciation) and the community. This place is a great way to get both.
Thanks,
Brian

I am a simple guy

And I like diverse collections: - a dive or sports watch (in my case: a Rolex OP39) - a manual-wound chronograph (in my case: something to acquire again, most likely an iteration of a Speedmaster indeed) - a dress watch (in my case: a Calatrava) This shou...

A favorite brand. Not following others. The L factor. L o n g i n e s If there is a second love? O m e g a So, yes a Speedy certainly could be a must. Me, Seamasters are collectable. Wear great on my wrist.

Perhaps I should have said an additional hobby.

I suppose it is arguably healthier than cigars, less risky than free climbing, possibly more relaxing than gardening, maybe more fulfilling than writing, and less stressful than mastering a compositionβ¦ perhaps the question is what would be (in oneβs view...
