Hello everyone. I am Geroge, the founder of DapperWristCheck.com. I am a watch enthusiast as far as I can remember.

My oldest memories are of my Dad getting me a new luminous watch for school, and that was the happiest day of my life.

As I grew up, I started to take an interest in men’s fashion, and following my style icons, I started exploring watches.

Gradually, I developed my own collection, starting from Seikos and Timex to Day-dates to Reversos. I’ve made this website to help people get the best watch information.
