My first watch (Rolex Explorer 1 ref. 14270 tritium) that kicked off this obsession, and a vintage ad I sourced of the Explorer 1 ref. 1016.
Introducing: The Oliver Digest
Hello there! Welcome to The Oliver Digest, a place where watch enthusiasts of all levels can find information and advice about beautiful timepieces. Whether you're just starting out or have been collecting for years, I created this blog to share my experiences, thoughts, and recommendations on this exciting hobby.
So, what makes The Oliver Digest different from other watch blogs out there? Well, for starters, I am a fellow retail buyer and collector who doesn't depend on selling you watches or seeking sponsorship content money. My goal is to share my passion for luxury watches and help you make the most informed decisions about your own collection.
Over the years, I've been drawn to spend what some might call “10,000” hours to exploring, collecting, and, yes, obsessing over the world of beautiful wrist watches. And now, I'm thrilled to share my passion and expertise with you through The Oliver Digest. As someone who shares your best interests, I will provide you with honest and insightful editorials that cut through the noise of the watch industry's often misaligned interests.
Now, who am I? Like most of you, I am an enthusiast and collector who is passionate about luxury watches. I don't work in the watch industry, nor do I have any financial interest in the watches and opinions I share. Instead, I'm writing this blog to document my obsession and help other retail buyers navigate this world of misaligned interest.
So, grab a cup of coffee, take a seat, and let's dive into the world of luxury watches together.
