Thread: How old are you in TZ years?

  1. #1

    How old are you in TZ years?

    Just realised that I have been a member here for more than 9 years. I do blame this place for keeping the habit alive.....

    Who is the longest standing member around (Eddie doesn't count as he's host-boss, not a member)? How old are you? I am curious about the newbie-oldie ratio in the active membership and how that proportion might affect the dynamics and tone of the forum.

    Ten years and 5 months.

    There was a long pause in the middle of that when I didn't visit as much.

    Just over 2 years and just under £10,000 is my joint score!

    Good one, Trev. Maybe we should guesstimate how much this membership has cost us to date. I will be back with my figures in a few hours.

    It appears to be 7 years and 7 months!

    And I blame psikat for my Doxa - If I hadn't met with him in Borders Books in Brum and tried his on I wouldn't have got one!

    I only joined back in April of this year. My collection started with two 70's Omegas. My finances are about £2k lighter. Instead I now I have 14 watches and an expensive WTB list.

    2 years old for me

    I am only 5 months old

    But I have bought 4 more watches since joining this site and spent about 2k

    However I now have a burning desire for an AP or JLC !

    OMG! I have totally forgotten that. Tends to see myself as a victim/user and never a pusher.

    You're right. It does.

    Just over 3 months old in which time I have gone from 4 to 12 watches and have a long shopping list for the future.
    I hope I slow down soon!

    10 years and one month. I bought a Timefactors PRS-1 Speedbird after looking for an IWC Mk XI lookalike and then discovered the forum. I still have the Speedbird and several other Timefactors' watches.

    January 2006 as I was looking for a 40th birthday watch for that October.
    Bought a Seamaster Bond off SC for that and a few more have been and gone since.

    It's been educational, funny, entertaining and also fairly addictive...

    Wouldn't have had it any other way!

    Just checked & I'll be 4 in a couple of weeks,
    although take into account self imposed bans I'm probably at 2 years!

    Must be over 10 years - although somehow I lost my login details at some point and had to re-join. Must be about 2002 I reckon - a lot has changed since back then! I remember Eddie having lots of Nos, Seiko, Zeno....... And all at prices that would make you weep! Still a great place if it has become a bit 'Paneristi' on occasion!

    I joined on 13/04/2012 so that makes me 1 year, 4 months and 22 days in TZ years, it's been a slippery slope ever since...
