I found this amazing group and hobby some months ago, and have been hooked since. All of you have been so helpful to a Noob looking for knowledge. And thanks to RWG admin for this terrific site!

Before I show off my collection, I wanted to put my collecting watches into some perspective for you.

Here is my wife's favorite watch. She wears it all the time. Says it keeps great time, even when she's not wearing it, she doesn't have to wind it and a battery lasts years, and it's a genuine, and it was FREE. What's not to love?

Luckily she is a wonderful person and puts up with my "rather odd" (her words) hobby. She even helped me build this light box today. cost me about $40 and took one hour.

So here's my family so far:

My first watch was the Ebel BTR:

Then a UPO, but Vac is working on it, adding gen hands, dial, crown, tube, HE valve, service, Chief AR. I miss it, but hopefully it will be home in a few weeks and I'll post pics for you.

Then I bought an awesome SHO from sporsterrider:

Then these two arrived:

Not sure what's next, but I have my eye on a SMP, Mont Blanc Timewalker, IWC 3717, or IWC Slevin.

Thanks for looking!

Steve
