Hello fellow watch collectors, I've built up a collection of a dozen or so watches over the last 6 months (must sort out some pictures) and spend most of my time over at RWG1, however, I thought it might make a refreshing change to get involved in some posts about watches.

Thanks for the words of welcome, it's a small thing but it really makes a difference to feeling part of the community on this forum.
I need to get lots of new pictures of all of my watches but here are a few that I already have:
My Seiko which I bought from eBay before getting into reps, never gets worn anymore but its all titanium and light as a feather.
My only genuine swiss watch, a Traser with tritium vials for night illumination, very impressive glow through the night, again it never gets worn any more.
My first ever replica from Narikaa, a Rolex sub in black PVD with Asia auto movement for £60, I was never happy with the look of the mineral crystal in this so I have since given it away to a nephew and he couldn't be happier.
My second replica, an LV 'Perfect' sub from Andrew, I still use this as a beater whenever I go swimming. There are some problems with the date switch as it starts at midnight and completes at 09:30 in the morning but otherwise its OK.
My next rep, a Panerai from Narikaa, the 'leather' strap that it came with was nasty do I got a double deployant bracelet from Silix, looks better that the photo.
Moving on to some bling I bought a full gold sub from joshua, beautiful watch but the bracelet has some small silver marks on it now so I have swapped it out for a TT (from Silix).
Still looks OK and people don't know that the bracelet is wrong but not much wrist time for it now.
Next I got a Breitling Seawolf Titanium from Joshua after reading the By-Tor reviews, unfortunately, the current model has no AR and no HEV but it feels strudy for its light weight. Still gets occasional use.
Then came time for more bling:
A full gold Breitling Bentley 30s from Joshua, 49mm across the face (see how it compares to the Rolex LV)
There are several more reps since the last session with the camera so I'll get it out again and get some new pictures posted when I can.

Welcome to the board and thats a nice collection you got there, though not neccessarily suited for my taste
