New Here!
Hey guys,

I am happy to say I just purchased Superlativo's Tudor Black Bay 79220R from him in the sales section which prompted me to create an account for myself. I am a long time fan of the Rolex/Tudor brand and this will be my first time owning one. While this is my first Tudor, it's not my first watch.

Here is my current collection. A bit small since some have recently been sold off:

Tempest Carbon which I received not to long ago. Really awesome watch for the money. Fully forged carbon case, great lume, super clear dial and powered by a Miyota Cal.9015 which I know is not the most exciting movement but it's as solid as they come.



I picked this Hamilton Khaki Field Pioneer Chrono up on Cyber Monday at the end of last year for $750 new from Ashford. As I had been drooling over IWC Big Pilots but definitely didn't have the money I thought this would fit the bill just fine. Powered by a modified and re-branded ETA 7750 with a 60 hour power reserve.



Last is my Hexa K500 which has that kind of strange 70's diver case design mixed with a little Sinn style in the bezel and hands. I good tool watch and workhorse. It's powered by a Seiko 6R15.



Next, I am thinking of finding a nice used Speedy as I have been seeing them go for steals lately and hopefully a Panerai 372 in the future. Glad to be here and share with you all.

Close! It's a very rare Japanese made or "MIJ" Epiphone Elite orange burst. Shortly after they renamed the series to Elitist so it makes this one fairly rare. Top notch quality on this axe. Very close to my Gibson LP Classic Gold Top which is killer, unfortunately no nitro finish on the Epi... As you can tell I could talk for hours about guitars

A better pic of her in the light
