biggarmodels Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 hi guys, i thought it was about time i introduced myself, i have been lurking in the background for a long time now ever since my wife joined to get some advice about watches, i have been watching a reading in awe ever since ! i dont know a great deal about watches, however i am nuts about them and have done the pocket watch thing etc all the way to replicas of which i have had loads, but have only 2 now a Narika tiffany rolex and an omega gmt which i love, its one of the finest watches i have worn....it just looks right some how. at the moment i have a new seiko "atlas" glued to my wrist and cant stop looking at it...stunning build quality. i have been through the taking apart nonsense and after a few wrecked watches have given up with that lark......i`ll leave it to the experts ! i`d like to ask a bit later, if its ok, the rolex experts some questions about a tudor/rolex i have just been given. anyway thats all for now except to say what a great place this is......regards to all.........bruce.

valerian Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hi Bruce and welcome! Great you speak up after lurking for so long, this community needs people who participate and asking questions is an important participation. Quite interesting story how you got into the forum, your wife being the one who found it first. I'd guess usually it's the other way round. Kind regards Valerian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showing him those watches quite so early! He'll never find peace again! Everytime I see that Tudor of yours I have to stop me from salivating over the keyboard. It's so beautiful I start to think about doing a project myself (which is very stupid as I'm totally lacking any skills needed...) Bruce, this is a fantastic place, stay around. Val.
