Greetings from the UK

Well it's about time I posted an introduction having been around the forum for quite a while.

I am, predominately, a collector of pocket watches but also have a collection of some "lower" priced wrist watches
my pride and joy being a Bulova Accutron 218 tuning fork watch made in 1976 - just love the hum that watch makes.

Because I am on a somewhat reduced income compared to when I was working full time, I know full well that I will never be
able to afford a gen Rollie or Omega. So needless to say I have come to the "darkside" of things.
I am absolutely amazed at the quality of what is now being produced, the detail is now getting to be second to none.
The only problem there is that the prices are going up BUT, if you want quality then you pay the price.

I have done a lot of reading on here and have no intention of making the typical "noobs" mistakes that I have seen.
If I do, then flame away!!!! I will only have myself to blame for it.

What I will be looking for will be a Rollie and an Omega that I like the look of but will not discount IWC, TAG and Breitling.
The brands I won't be looking for are AP,Panerai and Hublot - they really do not do it for me. But then each to their own taste on that one.

As regards my username, that doesn't take a lot of working out does it? Just shows my preferences!!!

Regards people
Look forward to speaking to you on the forum.

Welcome Omegex! No worries about being flamed or flaming. One of the really nice things about RG is the members civility and common courtesy to each other.

Good luck on your hunt for an Omega and others. There are members on RG that collect PWs too. I don't have any but I really like 'em. Please post pics of your PW collection. I'd really like to see pics of your vintage Accutron too :)

Welcome to the forum! I am also a new member and I hope you enjoy your time here!
