New from MI

Hi dear aficionados,

I am new here and new in SE MI.
54, 4 kids, French married with a MI girl, I am in love with watches since as far as I can remember.
Started to collect when I was a kid: grandpa clock, swatches, Yema, pocket watches. It became real serious in the late 80s’.

My first « nice »watch was a Ferrari by Cartier. Then I got a speed reduced white dial steel/gold, Breitling Cosmonaute, Sub (168000), zenith el primero rainbow white dial, zenith el primero class J, Panerai GMT, explorer II 16470.
I sold the 2 zenith and the panerai and stopped buying for a little while.

Then IWC chrono le petit prince, Speed moonwatch 1861, and just few weeks ago I made my dream come true and got a Daytona 116520 black dial.

It very nice to meet you all here and looking forward to learn tons from all of you
