Hi all, I've been lurking a little while an thought I'd say hello.
I've got a couple of watches that I adore, but when funds permit, I think a birth year Speedmaster would be a lovely treat.
Anyway - these are my 2.

Thanks all for the warm welcome.
Also on my shopping list soon are; an SKX009 or a 55 fathoms (Yobokies special) for my sons 18th, although I might keep the FFF for me :)
Also watching ebay for an Elliot Brown Bloxworth - any love for those around here?

Hello and welcome, financial warning this place can damage your wealth.

welcome, be aware, you become an addict before you know it with all financial problems included-) Nevertheless I hope you'll have a nice time here.

**Watchaddict** · 7th April 2016, 17:26

Welcome, nice watches.

**Slyjoe** · 16th October 2016, 22:28

Well, so far I've managed to grab an Elliot Brown from E-Bay - so happy with it - I've got big hands so it works ok for me. :)
Not the best photo ever but you get the idea.

**dejjl** · 17th October 2016, 08:14

Welcome to the slippery slope...

**Golfpaul** · 17th October 2016, 10:26

There will be a lot more purchases thanks to this forum. I'm looking at watches I'd never have considered before.

**Brucy** · 17th October 2016, 10:31

Well done, your showing enormous restraint ;)

**NIGELW** · 17th October 2016, 15:27

Welcome aboard,

Those Seikos,s are well respected around these parts, wearing mine today.

The madness starts now

**Mark lowman** · 17th October 2016, 17:43

Welcome and in regard to the Speedie I can only hope you are nearer to 27 then 47. Sadly I see my Speedie disappearing out of sight! I say get a Mark2 while you can at a sensible price and buy new. All things considered including the resale (gone up 30% in a year) a Speedie brought new from Iconic has got to be the best value watch there is. Unless you have absolute buckets and want to risk Rolex Daytona's staying high.

**Lammylee** · 17th October 2016, 18:34

Welcome! It's a dangerous place, I've spent more on watches here than on my car. The car that I bought on here

**Cooper85** · 17th October 2016, 20:35

Hello and Welcome

A birth year Speedy is next on my to buy list!

Fortunately for me my birth year does not mean I have to buy a moon era Speedy but I will have to buy a vintage model.

**casbar** · 17th October 2016, 21:03

Welcome, I've been a member for a few years, but have only recently become active again. Bought my first Rolex a couple of weeks ago.

**moe100** · 17th October 2016, 21:44

Welcome along, you're going to need a bigger box now.

Sadly I'm nearer the 47 than the 27 :) but as my children are my wealth, I'm sure I'll be able to afford it soon. Maybe auction their kidneys or something.

The Elliot Brown took my eye, as its a British watch maker based in Poole, I believe, and the fact it's quartz does not bother me, especially at the second hand price I paid. I've got a Seiko 5 SNZH55 which I hope to convert to a FFF at some point.
I'm chuffed to bits every time I look at it.
