Hello from Hornet......

Post by Hornet » Sun Oct 04, 2015 7:55 am

Hello DWC,

I'm Hornet and I'm new to DWC. I'm active on WUS and some other watch forums, but came across here when looking at the Karlskrona Baltic Shield and trying to find some more information......

I've got a small collection of mainly affordable dive watches which are as follows:

Black Helson Shark Diver 42mm Steel
Tempest Commodore 45mm Titanium
Steinhart OVM
Citizen Ecodriver Titanium
Eterna 1650's Gold watch
Seiko Monster 2nd Gen
Kemmner Turtle (Red Hands)

Here are a few photos......

Thanks for the welcomes everyone, much appreciated!

......I've loved watches since I was a teenager, but never thought that owning more than one was sensible or done (parents instilled a skinflint mentality into me). Only started getting into watch collecting about 2 years ago by accident. I was involved in the darker side of watch collecting (not sure if I'm allowed to even mention it on here?) but eventually realised that that wasn't for me......

......I've moved on to affordable watches, I can't afford high end watches and would not want to spend that sort of money to be honest.

I think that I've got a small problem with buying watches, but consider forums a cheapish form of therapy; it's not working BTW :lol:

Not sure what you mean by fey.......

1
a. Overrefined, exaggerated, or affected: "She said the word in a deliberately fey and pretentious manner, striking a pose" (Jenefer Shute).
b. Effeminate: "a fey snap of the wrist" (Michael Eric Dyson).

2.
a. Having or displaying an otherworldly, magical, or fairylike aspect or quality: "She's got that fey look as though she's had breakfast with a leprechaun" (Dorothy Burnham).
b. Having visionary power; clairvoyant.
c. Appearing touched or crazy, as if under a spell.

Aaaah, the limitations of communication via the Internet eh!

......when you join a new forum you never quite know the attitude, until you've been there a while. I've been used to quite raucous forums. Lots of sarcasm, etc.....
