    Quick hello

    Following a period lurking in the shadows, I've eventually pushed the 'join' button and thought I'd say a quick hello.

    From reading other threads, I see it's traditional to ask a daft question and then get flamed, but unfortunately, I already have a holiday watch, a winder and an MX5, so I may get an easy time

    My taste in watches is very varied and I really don't have any particular dislikes. I don't get too hung up on when to wear what, being happy to wear my Seiko SKX to a dinner dance, or my JLC ultra thin to the beach.

    Unfortunately I haven't figured how to move my photos from my PB account, which seems to have restricted posting, so once fixed I'll pop up some obligatory collection snaps.

    I've loved watches for years and have built up a nice box full. I'm not really a collector I'd say, as to me, that involves more than popping to an AD and collecting a ready available production watch. I don't have any vintage interest, but as mentioned earlier, I like a full spectrum of materials, complications and manufacturers. My personal size preference is 42mm, although have some smaller ones, but none larger.

    Anyway, it all seems a bit lame without photos, so I'll leave you all there and go and see if I can figure out how to get ready for the Fridaybthread tomorrow.

    Quick hello

    Welcome. As long as you don't open with a 'Best watch to wear in flip flops on a Thursday?' thread, I'm sure you'll be fine...

    Welcome, and a word of caution! I used to only think about popping along to local AD's, now I find myself lusting after all manner of different watches I'd never known about before!

    Have you figured yet how to post pictures? I'd love to see a photo or two of your collection. ⌚⏲🕰

    Yes and will do as and when it suits me. That said, I seem to remember your watches are a little gaudy, you know, the ones no one else likes, so I don’t think you’d like any of mine, as I have taste. No one will take any notice, but it is quite odd, you following me around and searching for opportunities to make yourself look foolish.

    I don’t know what that means, but that’s not unusual on here. I am excited for the reveal though, I’m just working out the best way to manage the fundraising element.

    Thanks. No, I have a passion for watches. I just don’t like sharing with everyone on the internet, like those do usually twenty minutes after signing the finance agreement for their latest acquisition. Peer pressure here is embarrassingly strong.

    Howdy Seikopath, hope you’re having a GrandS day and you remembered to Tai your Shu’s, in fact better with wellies in case there’s any Fords along your journey. Now maybe Pippen into the grocery store, but first clean your hands with Soapy water, as you never know, someone may have Josh’d on the bread shelf. Once you’ve WingTsun’d your way home, and watch a rerun of the cup final of 66, or that soap with that chap Taffy from the Toon. And remember, you’ve always got the forum it you get bored or need to ask absolutely anything.

    So basically like what’s going on already in another part of the forum but with a charity element ?

    I’d be in, so long as you made the list and made sure your other/previous ID was actually on it.

    Try it, it's so easy, no third party involved, take photo, post straight to TZ, even I can do it.

    This reaction makes me think you are just after attention to be honest. Or possibly a further giveaway that you are the mentally unstable TMS...

    Haha been sent to see how I respond and then narrow the list of those without the relevant post count. Does me even knowing this do that or do members talk about that elsewhere? Jeez it must be turmoil.
