Hi-diddly-ho friends!
Hey watch addicts,
A couple of years or so ago, after becoming infatuated by the Marina Militare look, I was doing research on some homages (RXW) I mentioned to a friend how smitten I was. Apparently when he first got into watches he was had for a few grand by an online bait and switch- next thing you know he sent me the watch. I got over the idea of wearing a "knock off" and get many compliments on the watch. Not many people in these parts know what the brand is and if ever asked I have no qualms telling people it's a replica.

I also own a few Seiko automatics and an Android with Miyota movement. I've been in love with watches since childhood and only gotten serious in recent years, I've been reading forums and oogling pictures for hours on end, especially as of late. I'm really thinking about pulling the trigger on a Franck Muller crazy hours (and maybe a IWC Jones) but I just bought 2 watches this month and a handful of straps.
Anyway, hello and look forward to being a part of this community.

thanks for the continued love, I feel all warm and tingly and I'm positive it's not because I pee'd myself.
Flanders, lol @ Jackjo, you got it.
Sylar - thanks, not bad for free, eh? (well, I think it cost my buddy $4k ouch)
gonna do some digging once I get some free time to figure out what movement it is.
J-C, supermod, eh? chasing the unicorn using $$$ as fuel, sounds terrible.
