SOTC - my Dive (and dive-inspired) Watches
A quick look at my dive watch line-up. I like to build collections. I’m not really academic about it, but rather focused on what captures my imagination. For the first time I’m actually ready to sell some watches, starting with that big IWC Aquatimer. In ...
Like the WMT, and others.

Wonderful collection.
