    Hi All

    Hi,

    Just joined up - got round to it at last but had to wait until I had at least one pic to put up :wink:

    Looking at the photos you guys post not only have I got to get some more hot watches but I have got to get a decent macro lens for the camera! I never realised how hard it is to take decent pictures. Sorry for the quality of mine but I thought something to give an idea of my collection from a group shot of some of them.



    Have learned lot about watches already from here - especially the different makes. As you can see mine are pretty maintream, a lot of vintage. Most of mine are "wearers" - no point in having them otherwise for me - so none are mint. I'll try to get some better pictures up in time.

    Cheers for now,

    Steve

    Hello and welcome.

    Nice set there... I'd like to see a close up of that bi compax gold chrono. Looks nice and quite venerable.

    In total agreement with that - watches are for wearing!

    Welcome. Thats a lovely group of watches there, with nice variety.

    I always find a nicely 'used' watch so much more satisfying than a mint one that you worry about knocking.

    Welcome.You may not need a lens, the most common mistake is not using a tripod. :)
