    Hi! New member here.

    Hi.
    Thought I should introduce myself after completing registration.
    My name is John and I live in Sweden.
    I´m a student (graduating first of June!!!) and a watch collector.
    Unfortunately, a student´s budget doesn´t allow me to reach for the most crazy
    watches out there. But I think I´ve managed to put together a fairly nice collection anyways.
    I primarily focus on having one watch from different categories. Like
    dress, diver, aviator, quartz (kinetic actually :) ), project watch(to disassemble)

    Anyways, here are some photos of my current and not so current watches:

    Hope you´ll like them!

    My first watch bought with my own money (A real keeper)


    A poor man´s perpetual calendar:


    Black or white?

    The Archimede has been sold. Yet i really liked it!

    Current Diver, tried to capture the lume intensity here:


    My newest arrival. I love it!


    A Seiko with excellent lume (actually decreased lume intensity while post processing).
    Sold it today I´m afraid :(


    My former dress watch. A real bargain it was. Great Cost Benefit



    Those were some of my watches.

    Hope you liked the pictures. As you might´ve guessed by now I´m also
    interested in photography (of (almost only) watches...)

    Thanks for looking.

    Kindly
    /john

    Hej John! Välkommen!

    The strap on that Pulsar is really great looking. I could definitely imagine that on a Speedy Pro.

    Welcome to the forum, John, and some really good shots.

    That Orange Monster shot is really good, and the lighting on that Davosa picture is excellent!

    Cheers,

    Jim :)

    Welcome

    I am sure that when you become gainfully employed, you will buy bigger and better watches. Welcome.

    Welcome to the forum. :) When I was a university student I didn't even have a watch so I'd say that you are well ahead of th game. ;-)

    Welcome to the forum John!

    Good luck in your last few months of school. You have a nice collection of watches.
    I graduated last May, my favorite watch in school was my trusty Suunto Vector.

    Healthy regards,
    Michael :wink:

    Hi! Not really, it´s more of a question about cutting back on non essentials
    like food and water... :wink:
