It's time for me to come out of the shadows
Hi Everyone! I've been a lurker for a while and figured I should introduce myself.
My love of watches began rather innocently about four years ago. I had just moved to Boston to start a new job and wanted to buy myself my first watch. I was 28 and had no idea what I was doing at the time. Inevitably, I overpaid for a chronograph with a Swiss Ronda movement. I wore that watch every day (and loved it) for over a year until I wanted to buy another watch. It was at that point where I began to research more about watches and immersed myself in the hobby. My first mechanical watch was an Orient Bambino, which was quickly replaced by a Seiko, then another, then another, and so it goes. After I had I amassed a rather large Seiko collection, I began craving more. I sold off most of those watches to finance my first Rolex - a two tone Oyster Perpetual 1005. The inevitable spiral into luxury watches began. My current collection is small, and includes a 1603 DateJust with a grey sunburst dial, an M Series 16610 Sub that I acquired today, and an SKX. I've made some mistakes in my collecting, which is par for the course I suppose, but I think I have a much better understanding of what I like and value as a result. Anyway, that's my rant. Looking forward to talking watches with you all! Steve |

Welcome Steve. Sounds like you are into the collecting and trying to find out what you like and want to own. Just remember it is a hobby and to have fun with it. Sometimes things work and sometimes they do not. If I can buy right I do not get crushed either way on a move and that is part of the fun. Enjoy.
