Hi from South Wales

Hi all... I've been lurking on the site for a while and have decided to register. After several years of very keen watch ownership (I would describe myself as a watch enthusiast, rather than a Rolex enthusiast) I have finally bought my first Rolex.

My collection varies regularly, but is currently running at about 25 or so, with the Rolex being the most expensive. I won't bore you all with a long list of watches bought and sold over the years, suffice to say I have made quite a few mistakes along the way, some of them expensive!

Being a 'recycled teenager' (and also having an 8" wrist) size my taste tends toward sports/divers/chronos but I do have the odd dress watch for those very rare occasions when I have to wear a jacket.

I post regularly on a couple of UK forums and perhaps one or two of you will recognize me. I am sure that I can make some interesting posts in the future and hopefully not ruffle too many feathers!!

All the best,
Rob

Hi Rob,

Great to see another member from South Wales.

There's plenty of love of other brands here as well.

I'm just six numbers away from a fleet of Pateks.
