Hello from a new watch addict

Hello everyone,

My name is Case, I just recently about a month ago purchased my first fine timepiece after always using cheap watches my whole life. I purchased a 2017 Explorer 1 and then this past weekend I bought a '95 datejust with a jubilee bracelet and a pearl dial. The 95 is not in mint condition but is a good purchase for the price I paid in my opinion. I think I may have become addicted, I have worn a watch everyday of almost my whole life and never knew they could be such an enjoyable experience until recently. I look forward to learning more from all of you. I have attached the photos of my watches below.

Glad I am not alone! I just took the plunge after looking at the explorer pictured one day and thinking about how much care went into making it and all that comes with owning a time piece like these. It has been a cool experience learning more about them thats for sure.

welcome. it really can become addictive. i can relate.

my advice (which is what i also tell myself) is to take some time to research and don't rush into anything. maybe make a list of the exact watches you are looking for. then only buy pieces that you truly love, especially if you are starting out, even it means paying a bit more.

my issue is my list keeps getting bigger. ;)
