Hi everyone,
I've been checking out the forums for a few weeks now. Great place to learn all about watches and how to go about buying safely. There's so much I didn't know about purchasing online.....both new and pre-owned.

At the moment my watch collection is nothing fancy. Just a Citizen i've had for years, an old Seiko that i'm having cleaned and serviced at the moment ( not worth much money but used to belong to my Grandpa), and a couple of 'Swiss Military' watches I got a few months ago... an Argonaut 1000TQ (daily watch) and the 20000 feet dive watch ( big, ugly, heavy and impractible, but I love it).

I want to get something nice like a Rolex sub or Omega PO or .....etc so i'm doing a bit of research and I really appreciate all the knowledge that is available to me on sites like this. There's some great deals on the sales board too.

Thanks
