Hello from WYO

Hello! New member as of yesterday. Just returned from attending Wis-Con LV with my husband. Decided it was time to start my own account.

My husband's interest in watches (Rolex and many others) developed quickly over the last year. I will admit that my original interest consisted solely of the occasional head nod or placating "uh, huh" or "wow, that's interesting".

However, as our combined collection has grown, and I've started to pay real attention to the conversation, I've really grown to appreciate not only the mechanics of the watches, but the true art of the timepieces themselves.

This past weekend provided a great opportunity to meet up with other like minded collectors and see some amazing vintage watches. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to learn more as time goes on.

Welcome! I´ve recently gotten my mother into Rolex and she now fancies a Lady Datejust. What is the watch you are most interested in for yourself?

My current daily wear is the 116710BLNR. I'm an outdoorsy, rough and tough, tomboy at heart and was never afraid of getting dirty or collecting a few bruises in the pursuit of fun. So the "black and blue" always reminds me to be tough and stay true to my inner grit!

When I do get cleaned up I wear a RG Daytona on leather. It's edgy enough to still be fun, but dressy enough for a night out on the town.

Our recent weekend in Vegas really piqued my interest in vintage watches. We got to see an AP ultra thin automatic tourbillon caliber 2870. It was incredible! I kind of see myself going the vintage route next.
