I'm a long time watch collector, nearly 30 years now. Predominantly my collection was made up of Swiss watches and I started getting into Vintage Rolex mainly as I am an anorak and love reading about the history and differences (bezel dial fonts, dial paint errors etc) with Rolex dive watches, this was around 2006 before prices went bonkers. As a result I haven't bought a Swiss watch in 10 years, so I dabbled in micro-brands until I lost interest, its only been in the last 1-2 years that I bought my first vintage Seiko Dive watch, a 7002-7000 to have a look at, and discovered the rich history of Seiko which give a lot of material to read similar to what got me hooked with Vintage Rolex and the dedicated fan base, Spencer Klein on Youtube has been great to learn from. I am now a firm Seiko fan, and in the last 2 years my collection has gone from 1 Seiko to 9. I also like to tinker so I have a 7002-700A and an SKX009 on the bench just now having their movements serviced, and a newly purchased 6309-7040 inbound which I bought spares or repair with a movement issue. Hopefully I learn a lot from you guys and can contribute.
