Short intro --- started a strange obsession with being on time and collecting watches at a young age. Cycled through many gens including a fixation on all things Panerai. Came across the HBB and decided I could never afford the gen, and started looking around. Found this place and have been reading up for the past few days. Can't wait for my HBB Black Magic to arrive. Also picked up an Ingy...who knew reps could be so fun! Look forward to talking.

Welcome. I have never heard anyone else mention becoming fascinated with watches at a young age. My father was an Air Force pilot and was strict. I had a watch on like it or not from a very young age. He tolerated no tardiness. Thus began my fascination with watches. Well you will find this forum to be a great bunch of people and a real learning experience, we are glad to have you.

Welcome Stretcher, first and foremost. It's good to have a horologist here, who has been that way since youth!

But Brtelec, I'm guessing you don't frequent RWG, because in the Introduction area I recently posted two watch-centric stories of me, aged less than 6. Learn 'em young. :)

EDIT: In case you can read RWG, here is thelink. :wink:
