Greetings TRF!

After being a simple lurker for a couple of months I decided to finally create myself an account so I could share, like the rest of you guys, my passion for watches (or, as some of you like to say, timepieces) with what I believe is a big bunch of great human beings and helpful people. As ironic as it may seem, I do not own a Rolex and, to be honest, my watches aren't as prestigious as some of the pieces I've seen on this forum but I do like mine as much as one would love a 100 000$ watch. This being said, I would like to show you the humble collection I put up over this summer (yes, I am crazy like that)!

Here is my 1972 Bulova Accutron in 14kt yellow gold (with, of course, the original tuning fork movement). This is the first watch that I bought and I really like it even if I don't wear it as often as I'd like since it doesn't really keep time...

This one is a 14kt yellow gold Bulova 95E100. I know that diamonds aren't everybody's best friends here but I really like that watch when I saw it and I just couldn't resist (I had to drive 2 hours to pick it up...yes, I really am crazy like that)!

My Maurice Lacroix LC1048 in Stainless Steel. I wanted a fancy chronograph and a moonphase watch very badly so I guess this one does the job pretty well!

Finally (yes, it's over I promise), my Omega Seamaster Professional with the black dial/bezel in Stainless Steel. I picked this one up yesterday after waiting for two weeks and I'm really enjoying it!

Thank you for your kind comments! I know that quartz watches don't get a lot of love around here but I believe they're just very fine for me.
