    Gladly.

    Mid-40’s, live in Singapore, self-employed.

    Got into this hobby about 5-6 years ago. It will probably sound strange to many how I got into this….. Some of you might know, car ownership in Singapore has always been expensive (relative to the western world), and I had a terrible habit of changing cars every 2-3 years. However, it got to a stage where it became really ridiculous expensive. Guess who got me into watches…my wife! She reasoned that with the money that I have wasted on cars over the years, I could have spent it on things that could have longer lasting value, and I could pass on to my kids. There was no turning back since.

    So what have I accumulated over the years? Here’s a quick snap shot:

    Welcome and great collection. I couldn't help notice the orange PO and the Tudor BB side by side that's exactly what I wore yesterday and today.
