Kev in the U.K.

Hi all,
Just signed up after a fellow member recommended this place on TZUK.
I'm a long time watch collector, and currently in the process of trying to set up a vintage trade site.
My collection starts with relatively cheap Seiko chronograph and dive watches, proceeding through vintage Omega, Smiths and Zenith pieces, taking in one or two of the higher end modern Swiss pieces and culminating in my most recent acquisition - a 1958 Rolex Explorer super precision (hence joining a Rolex forum!)

I am constantly on the lookout for the next one for my collection - despite promising myself (and my wife!) that I'd keep it under a dozen pieces.
As recently as February I was running a very streamline 9 watches - its now back to 18!
Every time I feel I can part with one, I find another to take its place. Ah well!

Good to be here.

Kev

With a bit of luck by August. Just need to pad it out with some straps for sale etc - just to float the costs. A good friend of mine is a rather skilled craftsman, he is looking into custom watch boxes in different woods and different leathers. That might be something that'll turn up there too.

Thanks for the warm welcome all.
