Greetings my fellow enthusiasts

[jrezz]

I hope this message finds you all well. I’m thrilled to join this vibrant community, though I must admit, I’m feeling a mix of excitement and a touch of intimidation. It’s a little daunting to step into a space filled with so much knowledge, information and passion.


My journey into the world of watched began a few years ago when my father gifted me his old Bulova. The moment I slipped it onto my wrist, I felt a spark—an understanding of the craftsmanship and history behind each piece (even though it’s just a Bulova, lol.) That initial connection ignited a passion within me that has only grown since.


Over the years, I’ve enjoyed collecting watches, mostly “fashion” pieces and older, pre-owned ones. Each has its own story, but now I’m ready to delve deeper into the world of watchesand explore what makes this hobby truly special.


I’m eager to learn from all of you and navigate this community-driven journey together. I appreciate any guidance you can offer as I sift through the vast sea of information. My first plan is to see my way through the information here and attempt to purchase an Omega AT Seamaster. I’ll keep you guys posted on my journey!

Another good thread to read to understand where RWI comes from and some fundamentals is this:

Most of the information you need to know to start is there. If you're preparing to buy, read the stickies before ordering. When you're finished, you can continue learning by reading the stickies in all remaining sections. If it's stickied, it's important information.

If you intend to sell, read the sales rules and all stickies in the sales section with particular care and make sure you understand each single rule. Sales rules infraction is taken very seriously here. As a new member you are not eligible to sell. Using the sales section is a privilege, eligibility must be earned, make sure you know and understand how.

For anything else, feel free to reach out to @eBoy or me, we're happy to assist, advise, direct, explain. Don't hesitate.

Don't be afraid to post noob questions in the new members area. In doubt, use the flame free zone. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere in the new members area, please reach out to @eBoy or me. Mutual respect is of utmost importance to us. On the other hand, we're grown-ups and are supposed to be able to deal with a bit of irony, don't take it personally, ever, a bit of irony never harmed anyone. If you laugh at jokes, you'll make friends faster.

This forum is a treasure trove of information and benefits from the engagement of all members who take their time to share their knowledge, help each other out and have some fun. We hope that you'll benefit and enjoy this platform as well as contribute positively to it.
