Hello. Let me introduce myself

[aamaci]

Hi all,

My name is Alistair, and I have been a lurker on this forum for many years. Now that I have recently retired, I feel I now have the time to join and participate in the forum.

I have been interested in watches, on and off, since my teenage years. My collection, as it stands at the moment, consists of:
• 5 “Eddies” (PRS’s 3 GMT, 9, 36,40 & 82)
• 4 Omega (2 Speedmasters + 2 Seamasters)
• 3 Oris (Chronometer, Radius, & ’63 Diver)
• 2 Tudor (BB & Royal)
• 2 Longines (Flagship chrono & Conquest chrono)
• 1 Dan Henry (1970)
• 1 Maurice Lacroix (Masterpiece Cinq Aiguilles)
• 1 Geckota
• 1 Seagull 1963
• 3 elderly and knackered Seikos (Weekdater, 7T32 &7S26-02J0)
I think that’s it…

I have never sold a watch and have only ever bought via AD/retail, and I don’t expect that’ll change.

Once I have mastered the up-loading of pictures I will post a SOTC. In the meantime tradition would seem to dictate that, as a “newbie”, I have to think-up a post certain to annoy some folks (what watch to wear with a kilt? – no… too easy....a black watch!).

Welcome and if you put a post up asking how to access sales corner that will do the trick.☺

Welcome...look forward to seeing some pics. Not the most glamorous of your collection I expect but I quite fancy a Geckota

[jimmer42]

welcome...nice collection

'Can I wear any of my divers while having a shower' should do it.........

[inspector gadget]

Good to see you have decided to come out Alistair, and a great bunch of watches you have acquired, particularly the PR's

so my offering to you is...

"Any idea on a good source of watch straps ? "

All the best and HAGWE..

Welcome.

[PhilT]

Welcome. You seem to have got the measure of this forum already - and arrived with a fully formed collection!

Tapatalk app seems the easiest route to uploading pics.

Thank you.

The Geckota is my most recent purchase, and I'm fairly pleased with the quality. The model I got is the C-02 Calibre 64 (which I see, BTW, is now on "sale" £100 less than I paid! Grrr. Hey Ho that's life) I'm not sure about the VK64 movement. At first I struggled slightly with the 24 hour sub dial and no sweep seconds, but I seem to be getting used to it now.

Wellcome to this forum

[Carlton-Browne]

Well done for raising your head above the parapet. Yours looks like an extensive and rounded collection so you'd better get busy with the photos .

Welcome to the forum

[Wolfie]

I think you’ll fit in here…

Try imgur…. Even I can manage it!

[img][/img] - use this and stick a link in the middle - voila!

[aamaci]

Thank you all for your warm welcome and sage advice re posting photo's.

I have now downloaded Tapatalk and uploaded some photos to Postimage (for some reason my PC doesn't like Imgur). So I'll have a wee practice and then, hopefully, in a couple of days "show & tell"

Welcome Alistair, nice collection. As you’ve been a lurker, you could try asking a question like:-
“which Rolex should I add to my collection and which will make me the most money”

Pictures would go down well.

Welcome to the forum.

For a popular thread you might try "Rolex warranty cards advice please".

[greenandblack]

Welcome, have you considered asking about insurance?

Tapatalk is how I load photos, so hopefully it’ll be show and tell in no time

Welcome.

I'm pretty sure Eddie is his own AD though ;)
