Hi all,

I'm fairly new to the whole watch collecting/obsessing, and got into it about 4 years ago (although I've always liked watches since I was a kid). Have tried a few brands, but don't have much of a disposable income so have a very humble collection compared to many I'm sure.

At the moment my watch box contains:

Breitling Aerospace e79362
Omega SMP black quartz
Omega Speedsonic
Omega Constellation vintage
Ball Engineer Master 2 Diver
Precista PRS-3
Smiths Everest
Seiko 6602-8050
Seiko 6309-729x
Seiko SKX007


Have been a member of TZ-UK for a few years, which is where I spend/waste a lot of my spare time (oh and also WUS, but don't go on there very much). I must have been on the Breitling Source page hundreds of times when I was obsessing about a B-1, which unfortunately was never purchased, but recently became the happy owner of a pinstrip dial blue Aerospace :D

Thought that now I actually own a Breitling it was about damn time that I joined this fine forum, especially after the hours I've wasted lurking in the shadows as a guest. It's funny but in the past I'd never thought about owning a Breitling and found the dials too busy, and the cases and bracelets polished looks a bit OTT. But over the years have found a very soft spot for the brand as well as some other models, namely the Yellow Seawolf and the Yellow Emergency, which I think look amazing! Also the more recent Avenger 2 GMT also looks great, and sure I'll pop into a jewellers to see how it wears before long; except this years purchases have to include either a Pelagos or a Speedy Pro (or both); although saying that, the money I'd put aside for one of those purchases did just go on an Aerospace :lol:

Anyway, I've rambled on too much already, so look forward to some interesting discussions.


Cheers,
Tris
