Let me introduce myself

Good afternoon,

I've been interested in watches since noticing there was something special about my then-bosses, which in retrospect I know was a 16710 with a Coke bezel. I'm not sure why watches specifically, but I doubt many of us actively choose what we are drawn to. I've lurked for quite a while and look forward to more lurking, and posting when I have something of value, or pride, to share.

My daily wearer currently is a Seiko SKX009, which I have come to love more the more I wear it. I think it is a steal for the ~$200 you can find them for new.

Welcome ! As my first purchase of 2016, I just placed an order for a 009 ( on the rubber strap ) on Amazon. For $189 next day delivery, you really can't go wrong.
