    Allow me to say hello

    New here so thought I'd introduce myself, I'm your typical overweight, over worked and over forty bloke.
    Whilst I've always been interested in watches, recently it's become a bit of an increasing obsession, I suspect maybe it's some sort of mid life crisis. Whilst others chase nubile young ladies, fortunately (or perhaps not) I'm chasing the ONE.

    My modest collection so far

    Seiko Orange Monster
    Longines Master Chrono
    Sinn 203 Arktis

    and various quartz things that I prefer not to mention .

    (Pictures to follow when I figure out how to actually do that)

    Hello and welcome. In your own words a 'modest collection', but quite a significant collection! Three nice watches!

    Welcome in, quite a nice collection you have already, just expect it to grow a lot and to have a slimmer wallet.

    Been there, done that and now thankfully long out of that stress, heartbreaking sh1t. Through a mixture of ill health and the crap that hits the construction industry first.

    Enjoy the forum, its good craic :wink:

    Leave right now!

    That is if you wish to retain any kind of financial/mental balance that might be loosely described as positive.

    If not, welcome to a world of very good piccie (and p..s) takers. Some of them also seem to know a bit about watches on the side.
