Hey all,

as you can see, i am a long time member on this board but never posted here before. (shame on me)

But now it is time to change things up! Better late then never...

Lets get things started with my (partly horrible) collection:

My first rep i ever bought is following HORRIBLE GMT: (don't laugh, it will get better)

very cheap and not good at all because i bought that before i had any idea about watches. This one has obviously no wrist time at all.


Next purchase i made was this AP T3 with quartz movement:

also no wrist time as i don't really fancy it anymore and the battery is empty


Next up is another AP but with tourbillon. I quite like this one as an occasional watch but the only obvious fault to me as a noob is that the crown is not alligned with the case - It sits to low:

Now one of my daily beaters: A Corum Admiral's Cup with slightly displaced dates (day is too low and date is too high) but overall i really enjoy this one:

And finally an Omega Seamaster which i wear most of the days:

As you can see, i improved over time also with the info of this forum. Thanks for that!


At the moment i plan to get a Panerai 111 noob factory and a vintage leather strap for it as well as i am thinking of putting a nato strap on the Seamaster.

I am looking forward to get more involved in the board and interact with you guys. I think it is time for me to give something back to this forum as i got already quiet a lot of info from it!

so, see you around!

greetings

peda


p.s.: i promise to improve on the photo quality (atm only mobile phone as a camera.)!

Some might question whether you were lurking or stalking after that much time. Glad to see you finally come around. Welcome to the melting pot of forum deviates. Hope to here and see more posts from you stalker. Haha

thank you all for the welcomes!

i didn't stalk so much as i haven't been into reps for about 3 years since i am registered here as i had a gen seadweller in between but i sold it to help to finance my new house.

there is actually rarely a day where i don't shed a little tear because of this decision. here a picture of the beauty: (the little fella is also gen ;) )
