    NEWBIE

    Hello all, thought I should introduce myself before making too many posts, I'am Mark from near Norwich ,been collecting for a few years now starting at carboots and the bay etc, I got hold of my first Rolex about 2 years ago now the classic Explorer 1, later complemented with a 70's Omega and later another Omega this time a Seamaster Pro 300m James Bond this was from a pawnbroker, these were always going to be keepers and I have managed to hold onto them , my latest aquisition is the wonderfull ( in my opinion) Oris BC4 chrono, this I bit the bullet and bought new getting a hefty £300 discount off the ticket price for having the neck to ask for a cash discount. sorry taffytoon nearly had your Breitling (airgun bbs) any way there have been many others and hope there will be many more, anyway best be off now and make some more posts so I can hit sale corner.

    Welcome aboard :)

    Good catches you made at the car boots, a few of the guys have had similar success.

    Gentle warning - don't 'speed post' to hit 50, if you do you may get a caning from the boss! Not sure if it's still active, but i think if you did more than 7 posts a day as a newbie these were all wiped and back to the start position. :wink:

    Re: NEWBIE

    thanks for the welcome, I'll sort some pics just as soon as I can work out how to do it I'll have to have a read up . I'am not the most computer literate, do you have to use a host site or can you load direct? I won't be rushing to get 50 posts just to use sales corner as pointed out just parted with a lump sum for the latest, one things for sure this watch collecting lark sure helps to keep your bank account empty, .......Mark

    Hello.

    Just as an FYI, you can still PM a seller and buy in SC, you just can't post or sell.
