An Englishman in LA

Haven't stopped reading this site since I found it! I can already tell the wife is going to get annoyed at my new obsession before long (my other ones aren't too cheap either!) but at least she's interested in this one.

I'm English but currently in LA - probably moving back to Blighty in the summer. Looking forward to learning lots more. The only mechanical watch I currently own is an old Oris Super 17 (so hardly much to write home about) and I'm an impoverished grad student at present, so a rep or two will be just the thing!

welcome! of all the hobbies i've obsessed over and my wife getting annoyed about them, she's taken well to this one. of course, i've bought only one watch for the moment. but this community has a lot to share - both in the watch world and out. enjoy!

Welcome to RepGeek!

Enjoy and make yourself at home.

Your make many a new friend.

Cheers

Thanks everyone!

Ah you know, there are just some things that you miss living here. Four seasons. Working public transport. A decent cup of tea. History and culture. Not essential to life, but maybe I'm stuck in my ways now!

Welcome me old mucker to RG.

You don't have to move back home to get all those things ya know, NYC has those, except for any culture of course, hahaha. There's 2 seasons where I am, hot, and fooking hot.

Enjoy yourself at RG.

Welcome aboard mate.........hmm i´m sounding like a pirate

Well anyways, what i told my wife regarding this hobby is that watches are the only jewellry a guy can have

welcome to the jungle....

Sounds like my wife sometimes.
She misses a good English breakfast fry up.
