The path a person has to each watch is more often than not a fascinating one to hear about. In Vinnie’s case, and for laughs, this is how it goes in dot points, from point A, not having a Tudor Pelagos LHD to point B, being a proud owner: Step 1. Worked part time job at uni, started making some coin Step 2. Wanted something to celebrate graduating uni Step 3. Thought a watch would be appropriate Step 4. Is a meticulous buyer so watched lots of videos, read lots of reviews Step 5. What sealed the deal was the Time+Tide article (unsolicited!) Step 6. Why the LHD? The aesthetics of it are quite different, love the creamy markers and roulette date wheel Now that Vinnie’s had his Pelagos for a while, the steps continue, and seeing as we’re in TLDR mode, let’s continue. 7.

What has he learned since owning it? Vinnie’s concluded it’s good to share passions – like being into watches…
