Newb with a couple of pieces incoming...

Hi guys,

Thought I'd drop you a quick message to say hi and introduce myself; Ive been a reader of the board for almost a year now but never taken the plunge to contribute!

I've just put a deposit on a couple of pieces to add to my collection; a YMII in bi-metal, and a SkyDweller in RG....I pick the YM in a week and the skydweller in a couple of months (a wedding present to myself!)

I'm based near Manchester, UK, anyone else from round these parts?

Anyway, here's the rest of the collection (although the DSSD is going to make way for the YM II



Clockwise from top;
Breitling Bentley GMT Midnight Carbon
Panerai PAM 372
DSSD
Panerai PAM 111
Cartier Santos 100 XL

Welcome from Bury, not far from 'these parts'. It would be a shame to get rid of that DSSD, to me its the nicest one there.
