Greetings from Ohio

I was born in Pittsburgh, PA so I'll always be a Steeler fan in a strange land!

My wife and I moved to the Columbus area in the mid-80s and all 3 of our children were born here. I play golf any chance I get and visit my folks in Florida in winter to get a few more rounds in. I've always been a big James Bond collector/fan, and that is what led to my interest in watches.

I was buying Invictas that were similar in appearance to the various Bond watches until I discovered the world of replica watches. Now I am the proud owner of a 4th gen Omega PO 42.5mm - thanks Bearcat!

Welcome from The Netherlands, enjoy your stay on this forum.

Thanks, Onzenuub, I've already learned a lot from weeks of lurking!

Looks like an exciting time of great advances in quality from the factories. The subs look so good I might have to get one of those as well.

Hello, neighbor! Welcome to the forum from just North of Westerville. Small world, huh? I am a bit of a Panerai freak and Omega as well.

Thanks for the great welcome, I should have introduced myself when I first got here!

Lots of Buckeye connections at repgeek, I'm encouraged that I might find a local watch repair shop!
