Grahame Fowler isn't new to HODINKEE, and he certainly isn't new to watches. Far from it, in fact. He is one of the consummate watch collectors on the planet and one of the early adopters of vintage military watches as objects of collectibility. He began his career in 1980s England, at a time when old (parlance of the times) military watches were sold by the tray-load in flea markets like London's famed Portobello Road.
In this episode, Fowler - from his Long Island warehouse filled with vintage Italian Scooters - shows us his COMEX collection which ranges from the earliest to the latest days of the double stampede special divers. It's rare to see a collection this focused and we're glad to be able to bring it to you today. But don't think we sat down with the master of military watches without seeing some from his vast treasure chest. From COMEX to Mil-Spec, this is Talking Watches.
