Solo Q&A: Microbrands, Vintage Watches, and Collection Motivations

If you would like to support us head to this link to buy us a coffee! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.buymeacoffee.com/overtimethepodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ In this episode of OverTime: The Podcast, we start off with the usual wrist check, but with a twist! It's a solo episode today, and Praka kicks things off with his Oris Diver 65 on the wrist. Due to a busy Easter weekend and conflicting schedules, we're doing things a bit differently today with a solo Q&A session! A big thanks to all the #watchfam who submitted some awesome questions for today’s episode! Q1: What are the most important factors you consider when evaluating a new microbrand watch for your collection? Q2: What are your thoughts on the increasing popularity of vintage watches in recent years? (Servicing/watchmaker, etc.) Q3: Head and heart of purchase – how much are you influenced by your heart when buying a watch, even if you know the watch is not appealing and if you do decide to move it on in the future you will lose money on it? Q4: What motivates you to collect? How has your collection evolved, and how do you see it evolving over time? Is it a seasonal thing, like is there a period in your life where collecting gives you focus or escape?
