Well, never introduced myself on a forum before, but I think I want to get involved a bit her, it's not too busy, and I think I might have found a new hobby, although the imminent baby might cause a little delay!

I'm Alex, from york in the north of England, a lovely area. I'm car obsessed, have a period correct lightly modified triumph spitfire in the garage that my dad bought new in 1973, the year I was born.

We bought a big house/project about 4 years ago that is now pretty near complete, so I need something to keep my idle hands busy, or the devil's gonna get involved!

Watchwise, I like 'em! Had a fake Rollie date just when I was 15! So I have 'form' Got my grandads old avia that I had restored as a dress watch, lovely thing (sentimental I know, he was so proud of it) my daily is either a cheap Casio digi or a Seiko kinetic, my smart watch is a 1972 Omega automatic.

So I know nothing, but I'm keen, and pretty useful with my hands so looking forward to learning new skills, and having some fun.

If it's illegal it's probably gonna be enjoyable!
