Description

This episode is on a different level everyone! The guys sit down with NAABS founder and vintage Rolex collector @moorewatches to talk about how he got into watch collecting, why vintage, why Rolex, and a few other fun stories. We were introduced to @moorewatches via our friend @cincywatchdoc, who has worked on some of the pieces in his collection, including a Speedmaster that was previously owned by someone we all know (hint: he owns a lot of sweaters, among other things). We also talk about how he came to find a "Big Crown" Submariner in a relatively short amount of time with the help of an Indy Car driver, and how a watch was shipped to him by a former LA Clipper. We also discuss NAABS, a group of close knit collectors in North America, who get together once per year to nerd out over vintage watches, everything from Patek to Gallet to Seiko. He also gives the guys some advice for anyone who is considering jumping into the shark infested waters of vintage Rolex. This was a fun conversation with someone who is very down to earth and thoughtful about his collecting hobby, and more than willing to share about it. Also, for anyone interested in reading more about NAABS, check out this article from Fratello!
