Hello,

Been watching these boards for a while and thought I’d check in.

I love watches. Was passed down a Gruen from my father and a gold pocket watch from my uncle.

Started with a Tag Aquaracer Chrono that magnetized easily. Traded that watch that cost $2,000 (foolishness!) for a $400 credit on an Omega Planet Ocean Seamaster 600 with the bright orange strap and orange bezel for my younger, wilder days. Really heavy and I eventually sold that and took a bath.

These days I’m wearing a Black Bay Chrono stainless and have found MY watch.

Living a quiet life in the country.

Thank you. I’m enjoying reading so much about watches.

Welcome!

It's a great feeling when you find "the watch." I own way too many watches, but I have found "the one Rolex," so I can join you in that joy.

I'm still working through the other brands.
