Hello from PA

Hello everyone. Lurking for a while and finally joined. Liked watches for as long as I can remember. Was probably the only kindergartner in my school routinely wearing a adult sized watch. It was just a inexpensive Timex water resistant sports model but I still remember it fondly. Looking forward to sharing in the community.

Hey yunz!

This may be my first watch or one of the first watches I have worn, so I'm with you!

Anywhere near Pittsburgh?

theloxmyth....cool pic. I'm sure my parents have some old pics of me sporting my Timex as a child. I'm on the other end of PA in the SE corner near Kennett Square.

Walds11....near Kennett Square....~40 miles southwest of Philly proper

Ah, I get over to that side of the state, every so often, for the Greater Philadelphia Locksmith Association (GPLA) convention.

Nice area! I live in Blue Bell and work in Plymouth Meeting, western suburbs and a fairly easy hop into the city for me.

Welcome OG, from Radnor.

RenirambusXelor check out govberg in the city and Bernie Robbins in st David (right off Villanova exit of 476) ask for Gad or Greg. Good guys with no pressure.

You may also wish to consider an AD in Delaware where they do not have sales tax. A.R. Morris has 2 stores (Rolex at Greenville store only) and there is also an AD in the Christiana Mall right along I-95. These are in the northern part of the state near the PA/DE stateline.
