New member from NJ USA

Good morning from NJ. I've been lurking around here for a few months, and to be honest, I am a bit intimidated with all of the knowledge that flows on this site. I've just been quietly reading everything and trying to learn the terms. I figure it's time to introduce myself.

I've been a Rolex owner for 20 years, but still have no idea what any of my watches model numbers are, I just kind of buy what I like when the mood hits me for a new watch. I am pretty sure my next one will be a Root Beer (until November, I would have just said "a brown one"), but who knows.

I've attached a bad iphone picture (that white one is some thin Longines that I always panic and think has fallen off of my wrist because it's so light, and the big one is an Oakly Minute Machine because everybody needs a big stupid watch that you can use as a shield to fend off bullets). You can see that I definitely have a slight watch "problem".

I'll go back to my reading and being quiet now, I've got a lot to learn, I just wanted to say hi instead of lurking

Thanks all for the welcome! I will probably be pretty quiet for a while, trying to learn as much as I can before I open my mouth, but I will be here A LOT! Thanks again, Rick

Welcome Wrick - no explanation needed. Most race car drivers can't tell you how the car goes so fast either!
