Hello fellow watch fanatics

Hello everyone,

New member here! My name is Collin and I currently live in California's Central Valley. I have been an absolute watch nut since I was about 8. Just something about timepieces really appealed to me. I inherited my grandfather's gold seamaster (1960's)retirement watch when I was 7 so that was definately my first decent piece of hardware, although I never got to touch or wear it until I was 20.
I have since collected Gen. Watches ( Rolex, Omega, Panerai Ferrari, Corum), some boutique watch brands, and some reps. And I even own a RXW Marina Militare from Ken Trading, which to me is somewhat hazy to define.
I love reading about watches (which is why I haven't posted until now) and the world of Rep. Watches absolutely fasinates me......I love that you have trusted dealers here who deliver to a community standard. I actually already ordered 2 watches from one. I will post my thoughts when they are received and if I can stop READING!
I formerly worked in the finance world but I am currently studying to be an RN.
Anyway greetings to all, glad to be among those with similar passions.
