Icon7 Greetings from NY

Hi to all,

I have just joined RF to learn about fine watches. I like selfwinding watches - and after decades of wearing battery operated watches with that static second hand movement about eight years ago I returned to a watch with ETA 2824-2 - and I have not looked back :-).
Recently I started thinking about moving up to a true and accurate timepiece/chronometer e.g., Rolex, Omega, Breitling etc. I believe that RF is a good place for me to begin my horology education.
