    Default Hello

    Hi everyone, I wanted to introduce myself as I've just rather belatedly joined the forum.

    My name is Jon and I'm from England. I've been interested in fine watches since I was fairly young, and my first proper watch was a blue Seamaster I bought when I was 18. Since then a lack of time and money and other interests left watch collecting low on my list of priorities, until around a year ago when I started collecting vintage Seamasters.

    I'm very new to the world of replicas and whilst I will endeavour to read up on things, I can't promise there will be no foot in mouth moments. So please be gentle

    Following the Seamaster theme, my first rep was a planet ocean chrono from trusty time. It is a very nice watch and I am happy with it, but I didn't do enough research before the purchase, and I have since realised it really isn't a very good copy. Thats life though, my fault for not having the patience to do my research.

    My most recent buy was one of the SSDs that I notice are mentioned alot on this site. I've read generally good reviews, so I'm confident it will be a better replica than my planet ocean. It may well arrive in this coming week. I will be sure to report when it does.

    Anyway, I have wittered on enough. I look forward to learning alot and maybe even contributing a little.

    Jon

    I fear I will be cursing having found this place when I find I have no money

    Now, which to go for next.

    your hobby could not be more addicting Jon, but ... many are far more expensive.

    you could be a shoe and jewlery collector like my bride.

    Welcome.
    Thanks Sylar (I get it, yes I'm sad) and everyone else for the warm welcome.

    I think I worded part of my first post poorly to lead people to believe I have been lurking here for a while. That isn't the case, I meant to explain that while I've been into reps for a while, I only just came across this place.


    Now, the only think I can't figure out are these geekbux things. Someone care to explain?

    Welcome Jon!
    Some people are like slinkies... not really good for anything, but both bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs...
