Hello from INDIA!!!

Hey guys,

Long time lurker here currently living in India. I have always been a watch crazy guy, but it was the PAM craze that brought me to this forum. I initially scoped out a lot of online rep sites such as replicahause, and its endless varieties, but thank god I stumbled upon RG before I really did any damage.

A little about myself, I used to live in the DC/NoVa area till a year ago and I have a small collection of cheapo gens like a few invicta's, ecodrives etc. My first rep was an uber-cheap Rado Jubile which I bought for $2.50 in Africa. It was a POS but I loved it.

I have been lurking here for the past year, and I have learned a lot about watches since. I have kinda been a little addicted to the site :D and have problems when I am not online for more than a few days. But i guess its time for to contribute a little, rather than just be a lurker. Some of my other passions are Photography, cars and travelling.

Anyways, so here goes nothing.....let the craziness begin.

I have been to India 2 times Hali, twice to Mumbai/Bombay to travel and watch a squash tournament.

its a lovely country, but VERY crowded ... lol.

we took a trip to Goa, which was by far my favorite place to visit.

Welcome to my INTERNET home, please make yourself home here.

Welcome to the GEEK!

As you can tell, we are happy to have you here. Join in and talk about some watches!

I'd really love to visit India. One of my good friends is from New Delhi - he visits India about 5-6 times a year. He loves the people, warm and genuine is how he describes them, but the country itself he doesn't like. Anyway-welcome, and post some pics in camera corner!

J-C, tell me about it. Mumbai is crazy , its too crowded even for me. Goa is so much better, much more relaxed
