In this weeks post of our collectors favorite series we have a man with a mission. The mission to make pictures of his incredibly cool watches on tree branches. A great photographer, a family man and most importantly a man with love for watches. Make sure that after you read this post you follow him for your daily dose of coolness. We are proud to present to you: @theonetruewatch

What was your first watch?
My first watch was actually my Great Uncle’s Vintage Omega. I was six years old at the time and my Grandma let me have it. I held on to it for a whole week before my Pops figured out that a six year old shouldn’t own an Omega. It got passed around through the family and finally came back to me 24 years later.

What is your all-time favorite aka holy grail watch?
Oh, man. There are so many, a Breitling Navitimer, a Panerai Luminor, a Langhe 1815. But for right now, it’s the Rolex Yachtmaster, reference 268622.

Do you have a watch incoming or are you on the hunt for one?
Right now, I’m saving up to put a Rolex Explorer (ref. 114270) back in my collection.

Best watch related advice for any other collector?
I’ve heard a lot of advice around the community about not making certain mistakes when buying / selling your first watches. Forget it. How else are yougoing to figure out what works for youor not?
How did u get into watches?
It was that vintage Omega. I didn’t stand a chance.

Do you regret selling a particular watch? (optional)
My first Rolex Explorer. My family of two was expecting a third, our baby girl. I had to get the funds to make damn sure we were financially set and stable before she came into this world. I don’t regret it for a second.
