Allow myself to introduce...myself. Greetings from Los Angeles

Hello, I am new here (obviously) but have been a long time lurker.

My name is Scott, and I live in Los Angeles, California, Hopefully everybody is healthy during this strange time.

I am certainly not new to the watch hobby. I've been buying, wearing and selling watches since my late teens, I am 44 years old now. Everything from Rolex to Seiko and Citizen, Vintage and Modern.

Being more financially established and married, my tastes have certainly "ticked up" toward the luxury brands. I currently own a Tudor Black Bay Steel, and Omega Speedmaster Professional and a Hamilton Automatic Chronograph that serves as my daily beater.

One of the main reasons I decided to finally join this forum was to take advantage of the Classifieds, as I will (hopefully) be in the market for a 36mm Explorer in the not too distant future, if funds allow, and if I still have gainful employment pending this virus situation. But regardless, a bit of a grail watch for me since I was a kid. I'm old enough and stable enough to finally make that happen.

Regardless, looking forward to participating here. I'm not a troll, I have manners and will behave myself. I will respect the personal taste of others, even if it's not my style.

Thank You and Cheers!

Scott

Welcome to the forum Scott and great intro! I think you’ll find TRF to be a pretty cool community. I have to warn you though that you may want more than just an Exp after spending some time on here. I know my watch journey has quite the story, all because of TRF. There will be plenty of opportunities to buy an Exp in the classifieds section, be patient and research the sellers in the “who’s who” section before buying. Welcome and have fun!
