    Hello from the Canada

    Hello all. Just thought I would introduce myself. My name is Neil and I am from Toronto Canada and I love watches. My wife calls me a nerd and I’m good with that.
    I have been collecting watches for around 7 years.

    So again, Cheers from Canada

    Welcome! I hope you enjoy getting involved. Do you enjoy English / British humour? I have family in BC but never been to Toronto myself. We love pictures here - feel free to share more about your watches.

    My dad lived 20 years in Barrie and I visited him quite a few times and every now and then we went to Toronto. Great city!

    Barrie is a great town as well. Picked this up from a jeweler in Barrie in the spring.

    Welcome and liking the piece.

    We’re all nerds on here so I’m guessing your good lady is a good judge!

    All the very best

    Are you kidding me MartynJC. What other humour is there? British humour is the best. From Fawlty Towers to the Slough Trading Estate, you Brits do it best. I remember laughing my ass off as a youngster to Benny Hill, so Carry On mate.

    Ahh, I must confess my whole reason for being here is to chat up Foxy100 and his Seamaster 176.005

    I hope you enjoyed your time in Toronto and didn’t get stuck in too much traffic although it looks like gridlock in that shot on the lake. Ha!

    Thanks so much. I tend to buy what I like and then keep them. Not one to flip my watches. I work to damn hard to acquire them.

    Nice collection! Love the way you just keep pulling out more stunners, like rabbits from a magician's hat. Really love the vintage speedmasters and the Doxa.

    This is the Sinn 142 BS with the Lemania 5100 The case and bracelet are stainless steel with black chrome plating. With a 42mm tonneau case this watch wears very comfortable and is always popular with the watch hooligans I associate with.
