Hi all, :newhere:
Wanted to introduce myself as a newcomer to this forum but an active participant on RWG and HF.
The rep bug bit me at a Moscow metro tunnel rep shop in 2005, where I bought an iffy Breguet and came back for a pretty solid Patek.
After a week or two on RWG, I had two new additions: a Lange 1 and a Breguet skelly. And one more thing on order:

I'd resisted the PAM craze for a while, then fell in love with the Black Seal, and was so excited about the one I ordered that I had a photo printout in my watch case while I was waiting for delivery. :woot: :lol:
Here's the real thing:

Since then, I've added an IWC FA Jones skeleton to the collection:

...and fallen prey to the vintage PAM obsession, embarking on a few vintage builds and a whole lot of dial painting:

And now I've got a vintage Rolex Sub on order for another vintagizing project, guided by the sages and madmen at HF.
Here I am, a changed man after what, three months? My productivity is wrecked, my wallet is lighter, but I have a feeling I'm just getting started!
Good to be here!
