New member saying hello and Tuna write up

Post by TIMUR » Sun Oct 01, 2017 8:50 am

Hi everybody. New member reporting. Name is Tim.

20 years ago I used to say people that spend more then $50 on a watch are crazy.... then I got my first real job, decided to buy a nice watch - recommendation from a mall jewelery store — quartz Omega Seamaster 300 (blue 42mm). I got home and decided to read about that watch....and it was the beginning of my addiction.....
In the past 20 years I have had/sold/traded at least 100 watches...from Omega, to Rolex, to Casio, to Seiko, to Panerai. I dont have a particular obligation to any brand - my latest pre-order is Sinn EZM 1.1, and I have been looking to pick up Casio’s 35th anniversary square at a normal price point (not crazy $650 eBay rate).

I also write for a few publications - not a professional writer by any means - matter of fact, my writing tend to suck. That said, I write a few watch articles a year - wanted to share one with you folks, as I think it may be of interest - my humble thoughts on Seiko Spring Drive Tuna:

Anyhow, thanks for having me here and cheers! :shifty:
