    2 year break followed by new purchases - APROO and zenith

    After my spending spree in 2019/2020, decided to take a break from purchasing new watches for a while.
    Figured it was time to get back to collecting again this year…so kicked off the year with an APROO Diver

    Wow, that's a serious way to return into new watches! Good to see you back.
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    thanks guys! Oddly enough, ever since I started collecting watches 12+ years go, I've generally stayed away from bigger watches....I once got a panerai, but flipped it pretty quickly.
    Looking at watch releases again after 2 years, I find myself leaning more towards sporty, bigger watches...very strange.

    That’s what I call a serious comeback.
