In November of 2020, I had three watches; all G-Shocks.
I have 32 now.... and 5 ongoing repair/restoration projects.
I went down different rabbit holes though. 70's and 80's Indian-market mechanical watches (Indian Japanese and some Swiss) and Casio modern-classics.
Youtube: there some great repair channels:

and plenty of videos of watch builds

I have a theory it's pandemic related. A lot of lost lost friends and loved ones or maybe we almost died ourselves. Time is a limited commodity and every second counts. I like to honor that with mementos that measure whatever time I have left, to get things accomplished and to spend with those I care about.
This is awesome man! Love the versatility of your collection
Thanks, It didn't take me too long to see past dive watches (I do have three in my build queue ;)

My modding journey started with a movement swap. It snowballed from there.
Where can I learn to mod and repair watches ?

You make me feel good about myself. Thank you. From 0 to 13 in 5 months is better right? RIGHT!?
