Thread: Hi

  1. #1

    Hi

    Advised by my friend ghosty to join this forum and haven't posted anything since joining.

    Relative noob but learning quite fast.

    Hoping that unlike other forums, this one isn't full of pictures of lovely watches next to firearms.

    My recent purchase attached.

    Cheers!

    It has been known. Seems fine to me.

    Let's keep politics out of Watch Talk, eh.

    Absolutely, but the American forums just seem to be absolutely full of pics of guns rather than watches and lots and lots of posts with "god bless America... it's my right to bear arms" etc etc. Which is lost on me. I'm hoping this forum is mainly about watches.

    Yes, compared to that it is mostly about watches. :-)

    Welcome professorfail. I completely get where you are coming from. I left the TGV facebook group for exactly that reason. Don't worry, we are all about watches, shoes and mx5s here.

    Absolutely! It's one thing posting a pic of a watch with a gun in the background but when the gun becomes the main thing and you get 15 people posting pics of a watch draped over the barrel of a gun on a watch forum then it's time to go. It's a shame TGV doesn't step in a bit more with his community because i like his videos and i don't get the feeling he carrys a piece

    It is a welcome from me also. Three really nice watches there.

    The Tudor is a forum favourite, particularly with the red bezel, but the Orient and Seiko numbers are very well-liked and well-regarded also.

    I was going to ask if you were a real professor, but maybe that is not polite of me ? I am sure that there are all sorts of top people here on TZ-UK.

    Anyway, thanks for the introduction.

    I came to the conclusion some time ago that he's a bit of a fake in that he is all about growing his channel at any cost and he entirely panders to his audience, the majority of whom are pro gun owning Americans (I'm being charitable with that description). Once I realised this I started to question the authenticity and objectivity of his content and at that point he lost me. Thankfully there are alternative watch channels like 'whatchuwant' that you can turn to for proper grounded content. Those guys really know their stuff!

    Those 50 fathom homage seiko 5s were real budget forum darlings a few years ago but you hardly see any mention of them now. Still love mine though. Great on a Brady sailcloth strap.

    Hi there

    "Right to bear arms" is more associated with hairy wrist shots here ;-)

    cheers

    Further to my "hi" i'd just like to add that i know relatively nothing and have relied on my friends in the know to guide me on purchases. I'm sorry if i make stupid comments from time to time. But willing and eager to learn. Feel free to slap me down if i say something daft.

    The watch advice on here is excellent. The images of old trainers on SC though does take some stomaching.
