This is my first post here on the forums, but many of you may know my father - @bristnj. Watching him collect was always cool, but I never thought I’d be spending thousands of dollars on these things like he does haha. Well, here I am. I’ve built a modest collection both through gifts from him and my own purchases over the past few years—now in my mid 20s, I was finally able to save enough for my first luxury piece - a racing speedy! I’ve loved this model for a while now, and I’m super excited to finally own one. Thanks for looking, cheers!

Sweet. I had my eye on this one for awhile but the moonwatch bug hit and I bought two, and soon to get the third.

I’m guilty … did this to my kid too. Much to my wife’s consternation. He’s already called dibs on the Rolex trio.

On the list! One thing at a time though, if I’m not careful my entire paycheck will be going toward watches soon 🤣

He’s told me a number of times that only fools get into this hobby, yet he kept trying to sell me on it hahaha. And being the fool I am, I let him 😂 Would be lying if I said I didn’t have my eye on a few of his pieces

There's a lot worse things to spend your money on.

Was looking at a beautiful constellation while I was getting the bracelet sized on this one… 😮‍💨 the models with meteorite dials are amazing
