Icon20 Guys, I've started a watch blog

Hi all,

I've loved being a part of this community, and since I don't have any friends in real life I can talk watches too (and the lady is tired of hearing it) I've gone and started a watch blog.

It focuses more on the lifestyle and care of collecting watches, not daily press releases.

In addition, I'd love to do some anonymous profiles of some of you guys, one is already up so you can get an idea. PM me if you'd like to talk about your collecting!

Thanks for listening, this blog is totally not-for-profit, with no ads, just a passion project, otherwise I wouldn't feel right posting here. Pease let me know what you think and what you'd like to read about!

Dave

Forgive me if I missed it somewhere, but I think you may want to get permission/add photo credits, as it's clear where some are from, and the image rights are theirs.

Nice page.

Dave, nice writeup on bracelets/wrist straps. Just saw your blog writeup on Archieluxury. True, as you mention, I discovered he's not the most liked personality in the watch community because of his rants and shooting some brands down.

I didn't know who he was till I discovered a youtube video he made of one of my vintage Breitlings based on a posting I had done on a watch forum, in which he said surprisingly good and positive things for a change:). Does he still publish? I thought he had taken ill or had retired.
