    New Member - is this the right place to post?

    longtime lurker, usual resident over at the CW forum and WUS.

    I thought it was about time I joined. I've been a watch collector for about a year, but bought and sold many in that time. my current collection is:
    Ball: Fireman Racer
    CW: C20 Lido
    CW: C61-TRI-SKOS
    Glycine: Combat Sub Green Bezel
    Helberg: CH6 SS
    Steinhart: Nav B-Uhr 44 Automatic A-Type
    Tag Heuer: Formula 1 Grande Date Gulf Edition WAH1013.BA0860

    but i am hoping to add a speedbird and a kemmner in the not too distant future having admired a number of those watches for some time. I have no ethic to my collection, I'm very changeable. I've already sold a Gerlach, Obris Morgan, Armida, Halios and a GShock this year and I'm already looking at making more room for some potential incomings.

    Looking forward to sharing some banter with you all and thanks for reading.

    Matt.

    welcome aboard, nice collection with a good variety of genres covered and a short but active flip history......

    I have some watches on my radar:

    A mystery Kemmner which will remain nameless for now.
    A Kemmner Turtle.
    A SpeedBird.

    though this could all change, I rarely stick to my guns on anything.

    Welcome. I like the Ball, Gerlach and GShock. The TAG is kind of nice too, even though that is not my favorite brand. Have fun.

    I like that. Cool stuff and not too run of the mill. Nice.

    Funny, I saw your white Turtle and though, ooh, nice watch. Then I remembered I'm wearing one :) mine has sword hands though. Roland's design work can be a bit hit and miss, but when he gets it right he gets it very right. I am intrigued about this mystery Kemmner now. Is it a special commission?
