A couple months late

I honestly didn't notice this section until now...

I am your pretty average watch wearer/enthusiast so I don't know what to say. I have always had a watch on my wrist since the mid-80's (so many Casio's I cannot even guess and they all seemed to break at the strap before even their first battery went dead). I still have a Casio in my rotation (G-Shock Solar -- solar powered watch for $75 at Costco - how can you pass that up???).

I have a pretty normal set of gens: Omega Speedy, Tag 2000, Tissot T-Touch, 2 Lum-Tecs (thanks Flav), an Orange Monster, just added a Boschett CD II, a batch of Invictas for the fun of it, and a cheap Lucien Piccard that I thought was rare until I saw a member here post pics of it....

My list of reps grew fast but is finally decreasing once I realized that my friends want them (ever bet a Rolex ProHunter in a poker game before? well I did, but I won the hand so I still have the thing (and have yet to wear it outside...). My favorite so far is a Graham Oversize Diver.

I live in Chicago (used to live in AZ and prior to that CA) due to my affiliation with Chicago Booth for another 2 years or so.

Thanks Repgeek for killing so many hours of my life....

Belated welcome phillpy! Rep or not, there is something inherently badass about throwing a Rolex on the table during a poker game!

Oh and I forgot to add that my other hobby is photography, so eventually I will stop being lazy and start taking pics for this site cause threads ARE worthless without pics (and when you have more photo gear than some pros you better use it...)

Cheers and congrats for finding the Welcome section. ;)

Enjoy RepGeek. Nice to read you enjoy the site - we are thrilled to have you as a fellow RepGeek!

Cheers and enjoyyyyy

A warm welcome from across the pond - sounds an all too familiar story with the GEN history!

Was a great fan of 35mm SLR photography also in a former life - but my new Samsung digital is just amazing and so creative. I expect it will come in very useful down he road LOL :-)
