Having become quickly addicted to affordable watch collecting, my friends and I have started a simple watch review site to capture our thoughts about the pieces we obtain.

One of the first few watches I purchased was an Alpha Paul Newman as I am a long time fan of the Rolex Daytona. We recorded a quick video and captured our thoughts which you can read/watch here: Alpha Paul Newman / Daytona Review.
