Hello from Philly.

Post by Willadelfia » Sun Sep 23, 2018 10:54 am

Hey everyone, new guy checking in. I first got into collecting in college. I started out with not so great fashion watches, most of which I still have (Nixon, Vestal). When I finally came to my senses, my first foray into Swiss was a Victorinox infantry. The current pearls of my collection are a Sinn U1 and a just acquired Marathon SAR 2006 contract. I’m also pretty big into EDC and can be found using the same handle on WUS and USN. Thanks for having me!

Welcome aboard. We like pics of knives/edc stuff as well.

Also, I hope you’re not an Eagles fan.

I’m going to be honest, I’m a fair weather fan, and the weather has been pretty fair!

My wife and recently put down roots and bought in Pennsport, after a nomadic tour of living in quite a few sections.

Welcome! Do you happen to have Italian genes? Lol.

I did my grad schooling over at Temple between 1999 and 2003. We still frequent Philly since my wife’s family still lives there.

Sinn is a great choice.
It's a beautiful world! Gerald.
