Hello Again

Hello all,

I've been an avid watch enthusiast and ''collector'' for about 10 years, though my appreciation of wrist and pocket watches go back further.

I set about collecting what I will call the classics and with time I saved and bought myself a rather impressive collection.

I intially joined this forum last year though I have enjoyed the forum for some time as a non member.

My world got turned upside down late last year when my 17 year old son took his own life. After which I sold off the majority of my watch collection as they the watches didn't seem to be of importances any longer.

Next month (Oct) will mark a year since his passing, with much needed counselling I am no longer in the dark place I seemed for a good 6 month period.

My son and I shared a common interest in watches and comics and I have since renewed my interest in both.

My collection as of present may not in others eyes come even close to what I has assembled before, I no longer own a Rolex and with the prices now I doubt very much I will be adding one any time soon.

As of now my humble collection is as follows :

Tudor Ranger M79950-0001
Tudor Black Bay GMT M79830RB-0003
Tudor Black Bay M79230N-0009
Nomos Glashutte Club 701
Oris Rectangular 01 561 7783 4065 -07 5 19 17
IWC Schaffhausen Mark XVIII "Antoine De Saint Exupery" IW327003
Seiko Prospex Marinemaster 300M SLA023J1
Seiko Prospex Marinemaster Tuna 300M Padi Limited Edition SBBN039
Panerai Luminor PAM Limited Boutique Edition 00390

I have my doubts I will be a high output poster here as I think I enjoy reading here so much lol but I will contribute where I can...
