    Hello from a new member!

    Hi Guys,

    Just a quick note to introduce myself!

    I came across the forum late last year when I was looking for an Omega Planet Ocean and ended up doing a part exchange and sale with a forum member - I think his tag was Crouchy? Apologies James if I got that wrong!

    I have been interested in watches for most of my life - I am now a rapidly deteriorating 46 year old (knees, eyes and probably liver due to one of my other hobbies!) and have owned various models of Rolex, Omega, Tag, Seiko, Oakley, Tissot and Victorinox along the way.

    I now have a Rolex oyster, the Omega Planet Ocean, a Victorinox military Chrono, Oakley Blade and currently covet the Bell & Ross brigade and the Breitling Navitimer! I just wish I had more arms so that I could wear them all at once :D

    Welcome

    I'm sure you will regret joining the forum.......especially the sales forum.
    But welcome and a good start that you have there.

    Thanks for the warm welcome guys! :D

    Simon, you are so right about the sales forum!

    Spoke to Dave (j111dja) last night about his B & R for sale so I can see I better start saving! I keep telling the wife that this will be " the last one" and then I am finished. (LOL - I forgot to mention the Breitling Navitimer that I want)

    My attempts at photography thus far are not too rewarding but Dave gave me some tips last night so I will give it a go asap so that you can see the goods.

    What's the best way to get them on here - is there a guide anywhere?

    Cheers

    Welcome

    Hi Gary,

    Welcome to the forum and "mad house". It is slightly addictive here.

    It was good chatting to you too.
