Good morning, Thanks for allowing me to join the forum. I have been an avid collector of watches for the last 20 years. As such have shifted direction so many times it makes my head spin, I have done Japanese flipped the lot, went Swiss kept a few and went Japanese again.

I think for me it is ultimately the styling of a Japanese watch that hooks me they just are a little more imaginative in terms of design, Often times they are a little bit out there which appeals to me, I quite like quirky.

So that being said I have a collection made up of Japanese & Swiss now. Although I seem now to be going top heavy on the Japanese these days.

Thank you for your indulgence. I look forward to seeing your great pieces, having my eyes opened and learning a bit.

Welcome! You've come to the right place. Your trajectory is similar to mine. Started with Japanese. Bought a few Swiss. Then pivoted back to primarily (vintage) Japanese. I love the design language of vintage Seikos.

Welcome urushi, it's great to have you join us! We love all kinds of watches here so its just as fun to see your Swiss watches as it is your Japanese watches.

I'd have to agree that the Japanese watches just have something special about them that catches me as well. Perhaps because as a young man in the 1980s Japanese technology was always leading the way in consumer electronics that I loved. I think I may have a nostalgic bias
