As I'm sure you've all guessed by the fact that I'm posting in this particular thread, I am indeed a newbie.

Couldn't tell you where my obsession with watches came from...probably the same place where my interest in anything mechanical comes from.

My watch collection is small, simple, and relatively inexpensive, but it's mine. There's a Pulsar that was my first real watch, a Seiko Chronograph of some kind my grandfather gave me. A Skagen an ex-girlfriend got me. I have a Seiko Coutura Perpetual Calendar I bought for myself a couple years ago which I realy enjoy, and I get a lot of comments about it. Lastly, I have a Tag Heuer F1 Indy 500 Edition I got for my high school graduation.

That about wraps it up.

Welcome man, wait until you get a Rolex, you will get a massive shock to the system. It will be worth you while.

Gotta tell you, and I know it seems the wrong place to do so, given the name of the board, but I really don't like Rolex *gasp*

First, welcome to the forum...Second, if you don't mind me asking,Why don't you like Rolex??? I mean, you gotta have a good reason, you joined a forum dedicated predominantly to the Rolex brand, so I ask, why? Hopefully I'm not out of line.

Couldn't say. Just don't really find them all that appealing. Maybe because I'm under the impression they're overpriced BECAUSE they're Rolex. Dunno though. Just....*shrug* I joined the forum for a lot of reasons, but a desire for Rolex wasn't one.

And no, you weren't out of line.
