Hello Fellow Watch Heads!

Hi Guys,

I'm new here, but I've been around for a few years in other places. I suffer from the usual symptoms of watch fever and its associated afflictions (Jonesing for straps etc). My particular illness is vintage Rolex, although I do love other makers too, like Omega and Heuer. I also love and appreciate modern watches, but my passion lies in pieces from the 60s and 70s, mostly.

I'm glad to have joined and hope to see and hook up with some familiar 'faces' as well as make new friends here.

I'm obviously not conversant with the forum/layout etc but give me a little while and I should get the hang of it. I've got about 9K posts under my belt elsewhere.

Cheers, Karl
