@WingCommander - Yep, I'm busted. Too many of my watches rip out my arm hair, lol. So I don't wear many in my collection. I never had anything high end, I like unique watches like the old Seiko AKA or Alba watches, Citizen 1481010 Independent watches, jump hours, mystery dials, etc.
I used to frequent WatchUseek forums myself. At one point I had an online watch store. I was a dealer for Tokyo Bay and Fila and CTI, among others.
I too like EDC stuff, and although I want to geek out on all the things, I'm a minimalist when it comes to practicing it. I have a super minimalist keychain and wallet. Cool stuff.
