I picked this up from a friend around 2002 before I knew much about watches. Had never even heard of AP before, he needed cash.
My watch journey is going backwards. Grail- to gens- to reps.
It’s been mostly a safe queen these last twenty years sadly.

Short for "Central California HD."

I lazily used the same username as an old HD video torrent site I frequented at the time. Come to think of I'm changing that shit soon. Question is to what...?

@ffm Its gotta be Berlin, man. Gotta be.
@Ah0rsey Wonder how many other cavalry men are here. What I dont get is the 0, cause the nick does not exist with o.. 🤔

Ive had (and still have) many nicknames over the years and continents, but this one I even had on one of my cars.
It comes from an online pool game / community.
For various reasons the name had to have an R and a P and an O.
And because I was sort of an adjudicator in those times, voilà.

Ah the 0 instead of the O is just to keep my online life away from my real 😎

Original username when I joined was my name. Decided to change years ago. Messi was easier than Antetokounmpo

Family member had food poisoning while I was registering. I had just been told about it. My response was, "aww shit, I ate one too." Didn't figure the exact words were appropriate for a handle, so I altered it a bit. 😉

I picked my nick because I'm a psychic and can see the future. 🔮😆

Back in April '21 I could already see that almost two years later @trailboss99 would pick me and @Feefo to be the new member guides, so I picked a fitting name:

The character "E-Boy" (from the Disney movie "Ralph Breaks The Internet") provides guidance to the main characters in the film as the embodiment of eBay's notification system.

Because I am a gun nut and I waste a lot of time and effort to train and be proficent handling them.
John Wick's movie saga is like porn for gun nuts, you end up being overstimulated by watching those fancy moves if you enjoy guns and action.

Funny topic! My nickname is simply the standard abbreviation of my hometown here in Germany. Which one is it? :unsure:
Fürstenfeldbruck-Maisach
Freckenfeld-Minfeld
Or maybe Frankfu... No, that would be too easy 😆

Cause when I was looking for "new" watches at "chrono24" .... there often you can read in the German original version of Chrono24
"Nur Uhr" (= only watch) >> when someone sells a watch without box, papers, extras = this is than mostly much cheaper than a full set.
And indeed that I wear my watches and not just collect them - I often sourced "Nur Uhr" watches - therefore the username ;)
