    New member saying hi

    Apologies if this isn't in the right section but I've just joined the forum so wanted to say hi.

    Im on a few other forums and TZ gets mentioned a lot so I thought id head on over and join in. Having always owned a few watches the collection has grown this year. Some expensive ones, some very cheap. I dont actually collect watches so probably need to cut down but need to figure out/see what I end up wearing the most and what never comes out of the box before getting rid of any.

    Hi Fraz101

    What are you looking at? Or would you rather not say until you have it.

    It was the Glasgow Goldsmiths where I got a great deal on a Tag. I think it worked out to about 30% off and also got the 4 year 0% finance they were doing at the time. My one and only trip to Glasgow. This was at least 6 years ago though, I dont know what the discounts are like now.

    My local goldsmiths offered 13% so we will see what Glasgow has to offer

    The original AD estimate was a 3 month wait time but ended up getting it within a month. I was told they couldn't get hold of the guy above me in the list so I got the call.

    Ha ha yeah it wasn't that convincing was it.
    I guess i mean if i don't wear it ill sell it, im not interested in owning watches that don't get worn. On that basis i usually only have 4 max.
    The Festina is a keeper as it has sentimental value, planning to keep the Explorer long term too. Some of the others will be going over the next 6 months i think.
