Greetings from Phoenix!

Hey everyone, I've been lurking the past few weeks and figured it's time to introduce myself and my humble timepiece collection.

First is my Air King 5500, Circa 1992 that had been sitting BNIB up until last year. It was a gift from my Father, which was a service award from the company he spent his tenure with.

Second is my Universal Geneve Polerouter Jet. I picked this piece up second hand, with an uncertain service history and an aftermarket band. The microtor movement is in surprisingly great shape and it keeps time remarkably well. This sees the most wrist time out of my collection. Gold filled, circa 1953 I believe.

Next is a Tiffany & Co Portfolio that I picked up simply because it shares my namesake (last name.)

And finally is a Seiko Kinetic piece that my father gave to me recently. He picked it up when we were living in Saudi Arabia. Not my most expensive piece, but defiantly holds the most sentimental value. I remember spending time at night with him as a kid as he would shake it to spin the rotor and charge the capacitor. It needs the capacitor replaced, but still a pretty neat piece with the Arabic day and date.

I've been looking for the right piece to add to my collection lately, and I've really taken a liking to the Ball Trainmaster collection. I'm hoping to pick one up in the next few months.

Thanks for taking a look!
