Hello from a new member

**Hocuspocus** · 8th April 2018, 16:13

After browsing for a while I have finally taken the plunge and joined. I have been interested in watches for nearly 30 years and currently own a wide variety but I'm sure not as many as most here. I am definitely an analogue person. My other passion is my Caterham 7.
Looking forward to expanding my knowledge of watches. H

What a model way to introduce yourself. Welcome! Anyone who can drive with his backside that close to the road should be able to cope with tz-uk.....

This nice introduction makes the rather more brash arrival of a new member yesterday seem all the less warming.

Probably shocking quality...

Seiko SKX
Seiko Turtle
Damasko DC56
Rolex Sub C
Casio G Shock

Also have a Rolex GMT that I am in the process of shifting to make way for a Tudor Black Bay GMT and a Sinn 104 for each of my boys.

Welcome from another 7 owner and watch nutcase, looks like an SV unless I'm mistaken. You'll fit in well around here.

Well spotted. Sigma 125 SV from 2007. I like the Gulf colours.

I am yes although I don't use it much since they changed the format. I do find the techtalk page helpful.

I remember when those were an all metal finish Lotus 7/super 7 kit car. Always wanted one, never got one. Much improved by Caterham, could still be tempted - if I could get into one at my age, that is.

Welcome to the forum by the way.

**Chinnock** · 8th April 2018, 21:09

Welcome and enjoy!

Welcome mate

**Cool Hand Luke** · 9th April 2018, 19:18

Hello and welcome! That's a good collection you've got and a cracking Caterham too

**greenandblack** · 9th April 2018, 21:39

Welcome - I’m a very young forum member and caterham driver too... yours looks in excellent nick for 2007, my wheel arches lasted about 5 seconds

**mycroft** · 9th April 2018, 23:15

@g&b... great photo!

To the OP... welcome to the forum and a nice civilised introduction - you’ll do well here

Good collection, too.

Simon

**jk103** · 9th April 2018, 23:23

The Seiko 009 is a great watch I have one myself.

**sugarytea** · 10th April 2018, 07:12

Lovely sub, obviously a special watch but it's stable mates aren't too bad either! Great car by the way, hope the weather turns soon for you to enjoy it properly!

**murkeywaters** · 10th April 2018, 07:54

Welcome and being a car guy too you will have lots more to talk about here than just watches, always fancied a Caterham after seeing the race series at Castle Combe years ago but have stuck with the classic saloons..

Welcome from another caterham owner.

**Omegamanic** · 10th April 2018, 15:59

Welcome, nice car and watches.

Youd likely be better keeping hold of the GMT, and selling it years down the line to acquire the other watches, as GMT values are rising faster than most other watches.

**Wooster** · 10th April 2018, 16:02

Welcome to the madness :)

Thanks Simon, my godson doing a bit of dreaming.

I was going to post a normal pic but then had a moment wondering if it’s an issue putting your reg online, and then saw that one and it suited my newbie status...

Is that the same for the black ceramic bezel model? I didn't think they were as desirable. Also I just don't wear it. Thanks anyway for the feedback and it does amaze me how much it has increased in value.

I would assume the model to fair quite well, given the newer steel Pepsi model being launched at Basel this year. It is the first steel ceramic Rolex.

Was there ever a tie up between Caterham and any watch brands?

Edit:
Found these on the net

Neither is too attractive to be honest...

Hi and welcome to the forum - would be nice to know about your current collection.

**canuck** · 14th April 2018, 10:18

One that has been shipped to Canada ...

Very nice is that an original HPC 2 litre VX with twin Weber 45s?

I do like that. It's good to see a car with flared wings. What do the locals make of it?

**canuck** · 14th April 2018, 13:49

Indeed, a 1997 HPC. It is a bit of a rarity over here... might have something to do with them not being ideal for the snow!

We have a local mg club and a few old bike collectors but that’s about it.

**Cat7** · 15th April 2018, 07:12

Stunning and very special, along with the JPE edition which in the day you had to do a drivers course when you bought one before they let you drive it away.
Sorry to derail the thread but some more photos please, and a start up video, they make a great sound!
