For me, slightly short-sighted logic - but back in 2011 when I signed up I was working for News International. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
Left a year later but too late to change my name on here. :)

When I was at University in 1990 and I needed a ‘handle’ my favourite track was chime by orbital and so it goes …. Nothing to do with watches
I just like to keep things simple

Wanted - Damasko DC57
No idea; it was generated randomly.
I used to live in the UK - but can't change it now. Also having a space character in the name makes it less easy to spoof (maybe)

Initials, phonetic alphabet.
Do you have any idea why they call him Franky Four Fingers?
- No, I have no idea.
- Well, because he makes stupid bets with dangerous people.
Absolutely nothing to do with the above…just love the film.
Character from one of my favourite books.
Car washing/cleaning/polishing nerd
I live in Essex, Male.
First forum I signed up to asked for a username, at work I was sometimes called Essexman as a joke, so used that. Seemed to stick, so continued to use it on other forums.
Used to collect small Honda bikes, short sighted and too late to change now.
Nowt to do with a glove.
It is because there is no love for TAG watches on this forum.
I’m from Devon and my name is Pete!!
On a forum long ago, I was just back from a skiing holiday when I needed to make up a username.
I've used snowman or a variation of it ever since.

A favourite film (Woody Allen)

The name was 'invented' by my wife for something different than a watch forum's username. And it wasn't in use by another member when I joined here, so I could use it/keep it.
Hi
An undeserved nickname based on the Olympic torch flame....never goes out !

Anagram of vKKava.
^ KavKav, I see you're also on Insta.
As to mine: takes me back to my student days down the GUU with sheep dip and the jukebox (including TP's Learning to Fly), it also goes with my name, and the extra 's' due to the original already being taken on eBay back in 2001.
SPILAman was taken? (o;
Err, actually no I’m not, must be some other fellow(s)

Couldn’t think of a decent snappy email address, so used the first two letters of their names, although chronologically out of sequence.

It's what I collect.
Anagram of explorer.
These days my forum name should be CWCappreciator? But you get the idea.
I like linocut prints, eg this one by Gail Brodholt

A job I used to do and an island I used to consider home.
A favourite line from my favourite film.
Name and birth year. The + is because I first accessed this forum through Tapatalk and my first few posts were inadvertently on SC, which resulted in Dave63 being banned.
Indi band I met in 1993 that became friends, chaos & madness ensued for a few years! My lost weekend!!
I was lucky with the Tapatalk glitch and an apology to Eddie via pm after it was brought to my attention.
Mine is simply from the S2KI S2000 website being the first forum I joined and MJ is my initials.
Lots of mj2k about though, as never got it for my PS or Xbox usernames, and it seems to be on a load of car forums I’ve never joined or owned.
Misheard song lyric.
It’s just my surname reversed.
I didn’t even work that out when I posted you an iPhone a while back! Seems obvious nowIt’s just my surname reversed.
Worked all my life in Aerospace Quality/Quality Management.

Just a silly forum handle from more than 20 years ago based solely on the fact that Old Sodbury is my spiritual home, if never my actual PoD. Now I am actually old-old, it seems even less funny...
I did 12 years in that very hat, I feel your strength.

Ummmmmm…..
Moving swiftly on!
LOL!
Massive bicep and unparalleled grip.
Mine came about by glancing at a Rugbytech fleece jacket that was hanging on the back of the door when I was trying to think up a username. Just altered it slightly and there you go.
Surname-derived college nickname (everyone had to be reduced to a syllable)
My life long nickname that has followed me everywhere.
You poop your pants ONE TIME in primary school and .................................
You cause a few blackouts on an offshore vessel, and do they remember you for engineering?
No! They call you "Black Al" !
Is this the voice of experience I hear beside me 🤪🤪You poop your pants ONE TIME in primary school and .................................

Pub nickname coined after a trip to somewhere forrin ("hark at her - Carlton-Browne of the FO" I think were the words). Lasted as a pub nickname for all of about two weeks but I continued to use it as an online identity.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
My ears stick out. When I was a kid, my dad always called me ear ‘ole. Which became Rol. Which became Roly. Which became Roland. My friends and family still call me this. I much prefer it to my real name.
Whilst at university ('83 to '87) I spent the Winter holidays as a ski instructor in Switzerland with the intention of saving some money. Needless to say I saved nothing but had a bloody great time!
It's the name I write music under, since 1995 or thereabouts. It kind of describes the music I used to write back then which was very electronic with heavy use of filters and and various oscillators. It's just stuck ever since and I use it for all manner of things.
