He was a really interesting guy, I want to say he was Italian and had been a builder his whole life. We ended up chatting about watches for a while and he said “while you are here I will show you my collection”….. off he goes to the safe and starts bringing out incredible watch after incredible watch!!
2 Military issue Omega 300’s, super early Speedmasters, some Pateks, loads of various Rolexs, it was ridiculous!!
