Greetings from Minnesota!

Hey all,

Long time lurker, first time poster here. I'm mainly a vintage guy, as I love the look of the vintage Rolexes (and other brands) out there, so that's likely where you'll find me looking around. I finally broke out of the vintage lot recently and purchased a Tudor Black Bay, but as you can tell, I still wanted a little of that "vintage" influence in it.

I'm also a bit of a novice watch tinkerer, as I like to buy old watches and try to get them back to working condition. I started with some old Oris and Bulova military watches and now I've been working on newer ones. As a beginner to that as well, it can be scary at times, but it's a nice feeling when the last piece goes back in and everything moves as it should.

Anyway, look forward to interacting with you all and thanks for all the great info here already!
