Scrubsaurusrex Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) Hi all! My name is Ruben, I've been into collecting for about 8-9 years. I started with a G-Shock addiction and slowly built it up from there. I got bored of the constant buying and selling and got into independents about 2-3 years ago. My first purchase there was the Holthinrichs Ornament 1, which I still have. I'm a young guy, so sadly I can't buy everything I'm into, but that's also how I discover a bunch of amazing microbrands and independents at sub 10k pricepoints too. I worked at an AD during university and got to try a lot there. I also know for sure I want to get back into the industry at some point as I miss it already. Other than that I'm an admin at RedBar Amsterdam, which is also a great way to stay connected to the hobby when you have a full-time job in another field. I also do a lot of photography alongside this hobby so you'll likely see me share some shots here and there. I included a photo with some of the watches I currently have in rotation.

Administrators TimeTexas Posted August 9, 2023 Administrators Share Posted August 9, 2023 Hey Ruben, very happy to have you on board. Enjoyed meeting you originally about a year ago for the Holthinrichs photo contest and you have a great eye for collecting some great brands. I'm also envious that you're with RedBar Amsterdam. Close proximity to some incredible watchmaking. Love your photography and look forward to following you here and on the gram. Part of the goal is this forum is to help promote people who support small brands so feel free to tag @bespokenlounge.watch on IG and #bespokenlounge and I'll add to the stories to that account. Cheers and welcome! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
