Haven't been around in a long time and had completely forgotten about this place. I picked up on a new hobby and it has nothing to do with watches.

I have started collecting flashlights(or torches). In the past two weeks I've bought six. This is a very unique hobby as I didn't know there were so many variations of lights out there. For those interested, here is a link to a site with a wealth of info:

www.candlepowerforums.com

It's a really great place.

Anyhoo, I'm still around and I recognize a lot of names from other forums(especially one). JJ the King Tosser from down under.

Welcome back, Bob. Do hope you'll stick around and keep posting.

Collecting torches, an interestingly different hobby.
My last torch was a $5 UV torch which radiates a blue coloured light that works great on watch dials to activate the luminova instantly. So this is my watch torch.

I just bought myself a 2million candle power emergency light for $9.99. One for me and one for the wifey.

I wish I bought Surefire's BEAST for $1799 when it came out, now it is over $4000. I do have the M6 however for military use here. I planned to Fleabay it when I get back to Tampa. It is as good as new. Sure can take a beating, and give one!
