    Hello, new here, start of a (potentially) wallet crippling journey

    Well first off Hello,

    Introduced to the forum by my brother (after asking him to buy a few watches off here)

    My collection, mostly Japanese, and mostly mechanical. Top row; Citizen eco drive 100m (20th birthday present, so a bit battered after 17 years, but only ever needed a capacitor replacement). 2 Seiko 5’s , one looks like a mini SARB033 & one I plan to play with modding. Seiko SARB033, looking like a baby Grand Seiko. Citizen Eco drive 200m diver, picked up in Japan in New Years sales (Mystery bag), only slight annoyance is the second hand alignment slightly out. (Any tips on how to fix this?)
    Bottom row are my favorites.

    Frederique Constant, engagement present from my fiancé (she got a ring, I got a watch). Love the open heart on this.

    My first Grand Seiko, SBGA109. Love everything about this watch, the dial, the second hand sweep, exhibition case back. And attention to detail throughout. (Thinking of sending this back to Japan for a service and refinish, but so far seems to be keeping very good time (+0.0 since I got it using the Toolwatch app))

    Last but not least, my Omega, SMP, 30th present from my brother.

    Thanks, I didn’t really add much background to myself, I left the UK a year or so ago to move to Amsterdam to live with my (Dutch) fiancé. I used to live in Oxshott, and had multiple motorcycles then. Sold them off to finish the house refurb before moving. I’ll probably pick up another bike if buying the flat goes through. Also quite into photography, but lookin at some of the pics here I keep contemplating picking up a dedicated macro lens.....
