Essay: An American High Schooler In Hong Kong That Loves Watches
The below essay is a contribution from Evan Tich:My name is Evan Tich, and I am currently living in Hong Kong and will be for the remainder of my high school years. I have relocated many times in my life due to my father¡¯s job. It came as no surprise to me when my dad sat our family down and broke the news, again. Different cities ideas flew through my head, but never in my life would I have expected to move to such a foreign place as Hong Kong; however, I have been living here for three years as a student, a soccer player, and, most importantly, a watch enthusiast - and have been loving every minute of it.When I made the long trip to Hong Kong International Airport, it was no surprise that there were many things different to that of which I was accustomed to in the United States; however, the longer I rested in the city of Hong Kong, the more accustomed I grew to it.

I must say that this was a huge resource for me, as far as making a choice on the purchase of my first nice watch. There are so many pitfalls an unexperienced watch buyer can fall into that it was reassuring to be able to get information to make an informed decision.

After looking at various brands, researching, and more researching, I decided on Oris because I felt it was the best watch for me right now. Although, I'm sure it won't be my last, I am very excited about it. It seems as though Oris stands for excellent quality and craftmanship. I will post some pcitures and more info as soon as I get my new Oris. BTW, it's an SS black dial with rubber strap (300m). cheers.
