Hi all,

Wanted to introduce myself as a newcomer to this forum but an active participant on RWG and HF.

The rep bug bit me at a Moscow metro tunnel rep shop in 2005, where I bought an iffy Breguet and came back for a pretty solid Patek.

Here I am, a changed man after what, three months? My productivity is wrecked, my wallet is lighter, but I have a feeling I'm just getting started!

Good to be here!
