hi i'm fairly new here in this forum. but i'm also into:

- restaurant hopping (trying new restaurants - luckily i live in the san francisco bay area)
- edc stuff, which means that i also collect knives and flashlights
- recently got into shooting handguns, rifles, etc.

currently not a rolex owner, but trying to add one to my collection. just need to find the right seller with a good price.

wow, amazing.
i wish i'd had the time and money for such wonderful hobbies. since my son was born all my other hobbies disappeared. no diving, no skiing, no traveling and unfortunately no watches in the near future i even sold my convertible to get a proper family car.
having a kid is an expensive hobby. or shall i say passion? :-)

ps i always wanted to try golfing, sailing and bikes but i see no point in taking up a new hobby which i have no time and money for. maybe in few years...

I love watches way too much. I also love guitars, Fender Strats and Tom Anderson guitars. I believe Tom Anderson guitars are the finest handmade guitars around. Of course, if I could get my hands on a Scott Lentz or a Suhr..........

Running is my biggest hobby. I have been running competitively since high school. I ran in college and now I run for a running club here in NYC. I am also an avid skier and kayaker.
