New in town..

Hello all.

Im 25 years old norwegian fella.
I recently joined TRF after hearing good things about this forum from a friend of mine. A LOT of knowledge and down to earth people in here

I´ve been into watches for a year, and I see no end to this bug
It started out when my Timex (I know, I know) stopped ticking, and instead of changing the battery I figured I needed something more sporty. My brother, who´s also a WIS helped me out finding a new watch on eBay. I landed on a Citizen Eco-Drive. Slow yet steady, my interest for watches and movements increased rapidly. The bug kept growing as I continuously read about watches over at WUS. Not before long I was hooked

Now, a year later I have/had Breitling, Omega, Panerai, Sinn, Stowa, Rolex and some low-end such as Steinhart, Citizen, Seiko, Orient and Ollech & Wajs. My current line-up is rather slim:

- Panerai 312
- Rolex Sub 16610 V-serial
- Sinn U2S
- Seiko Black Monster
- Steinhart Nav-b Chrono

Got my first Rolex a couple of months ago, and I understand what all the fuzz is about
Im hoping I`ll get a chance to buy an explorer II and a GMT II further down the line. Aw, who am I kidding? I WANT `EM ALL

Cheers, folks!
