    new here

    evening
    so I finally joined here hope this is the place to introduce, used bits of info in have picked up here & other forums over the last two/three years now( better late than never & was a late starter) to build my small collection, was always a bit reluctant to join due to my lack of in depth knowledge, but I do know what I like , so I am 62 , own 12 watches ( pictures will follow) and hope I can contribute to topics here not just on watches

    Welcome aboard Mitch. I thought, I'd ask a couple of watch related questions and will be on my way. Still here after almost 9 years. FML.

    Hi. Let's see your favourite watch. :-)

    PS taking 5 mins and signing up to imgur makes posting pics easy.

    When you see :eagerness appear in a post, it refers to a forum based emoji that cannot be displayed through whichever interface you are using to access the forum.

    Other words to avoid: “Sent from my SM-G950F using TZ-UK mobile app”.

    Darn it, I was so close with the Mk 1 Cortina!

    With regards to your Vratislavia, here's my son's black faced version (lower watch). A much cheaper alternative to the Speedmaster he wanted and a great watch for the money.
