I got into watches all because of an image burned in my mind of a cool guy wearing an SKX007 on a jubilee I met as a kid. He was a boyfriend of one of my Mom’s friend and he was just the coolest to a young man of 9 or 10. I remember just string at his watch and thinking it was the best thing ever. I wore a Timex Ironman at the time (which I still have and will always covet) Fast forward many years and My first mechanical was in fact an SKX007. I felt just as cool as I thought the guy was wearing the watch when I was young. Now that I’ve truly gotten into horology and the history behind Movements and brands I always think back to that cool guy’s wrist as inspiration. I hope to gain/share neat things here! Thanks.
