    Smile Greatings from a new member

    Good evening all.
    I've been lurking around here for some time now and must apologize for not joining in sooner! (I did try to join a few times earlier but only resently found it was work hours only for registering)
    I have always appreciated a nice watch, but my bug really bit 2 years ago when I started looking at mechanical watches online and in shop windows. The urge continued to grow until I walked into an AD's door at 10am on new years day 2011 and walked out the proud owner of an Oris TT1 Titan Date (a watch I still love as my first "real" piece)
    My tastes are pretty much for the tool/divers styles watches. As stated I prefer mechanicals, but also appreciate quartz and digi's - if I likes it I likes it!
    I hope to be able to add something to this great place - even if it's just a bit of Kiwi humour! (been in the UK for 16 years now but god's own will always be home!)

    Si.


    Here's a quick group shot. Sorry if the pic/size is not right but may take some time to get my head around it all

    Welcome. Great collection. Oris are a great place to start, finish or even in the middle!

    Thanks for all the comments.
    Dave+63 - would love to have a crystal ball and see were I'm at in 6 months! It takes all my will power now not to buy every watch that takes my fancy (lack of funds usually puts paid to that, but where there's a will...) I'm sure being on here will make it even harder!
    Si.
