New to watch collecting - checking in

[71notout]

Hi guys,

I have been reading this forum for a while now as I have been wanting to start a small modest collection for a while now.

I used to wear a Citizen Diver Watch but I think the auto-winding mechanism broke whilst in the States as it started vibrating wildly for a few seconds now and then!



My rubber strap disintegrated after 2 years so I bought a metal bracelet to match from Citizen.

The last couple of years, I have been sporting a Casio G-Shock:



I have just returned from a holiday in Australia, and treated myself to 2 new additions to the collection:

Breil Logo (for work, with the suit):



and for day to day, a nice Fossil (I like Orange ):



My next purchase is hopefully going to be a Seiko Monster of some description and for the future? Would like to work my way up to a Tag Monaco for smart wear, and an Omega for play but that's a long way off.

Anyway, just thought i'd say hello to some likeminded folk (with some really cool watches!)

Cheers,
Steven

Welcome to the madness!!!! Now if you really want to indulge yourself in all things watches come on over and join the fun at tz-uk.com, we will welcome you with open arms and then empty your savings account

Can highly recommend a Monster - had one, sold it and regretted it but other things keep me occupied. Tag Heuer Monaco, very nice choice for a smart watch and well, I am a little biased about Omega as I have 2 Seamasters and have a Speedmaster incoming.

Hi 71notout.

fully recommend the Monaco bought one when they were relaunched several years ago and love wearing it, works really well as a smart watch or just bumming around in a pair of jeans

buy most of my watches from a chap in Northern Ireland, great guy really helpful and always keen to beat any price if possible, works wonders on repairs as well
