I have collected 10 watches from Chen. Working with him is always pleasant and his responses are very prompt

Did you buy insurance when you purchased the watch?

I accidentally stumbled into the rep watch world a couple of weeks ago, and I’m completely hooked.
What surprised me most is how much there is to the hobby beyond simply buying a watch. Half the fun is learning about the different factories, figuring out which ones specialize in certain models, studying the small details, and going through the QC process to make sure everything looks right.
I’ve really enjoyed seeing new releases, comparing different versions, and watching how quickly the quality and accuracy continue to improve. There’s always something new to learn, research, or compare.
I’m only a couple of weeks in, but I can already tell I’ve found myself a new rabbit hole. 😂 This hobby is an absolute blast.

Quick shot while waiting in the car today. The no-date Explorer is my ideal daily driver watch. Clean 3-6-9 dial, sleek steel case, fits every casual moment perfectly. Much thanks to Chen for this piece.
