    Hey all - wanted to quickly say that I've spent the past month or so creating a website (bazamu.com) that aims to tell the stories behind the watches that I've uncovered and sheds a little light on what drew me to the specific examples in the first place. I've had a lot of people ask how I find my watches without buying from dealers, so after hearing the question enough, the idea for the site eventually took hold. Whether it provides motivation, satiates your curiosity, or simply kills some time, I hope you guys find it worthwhile. And if you don't, tell me (privately)! I want it to evolve over time.

    Anyways, enough self promotion. Check it out if you're interested!

    PS - Jack did a similar exercise on this forum while I was mid-stream in the site's creation...promise it wasn't a rip-off of your idea, Jack! His awesome thread is here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/state-of-my-humble-collection-photos-intensive.45787/

    PPS - what's a thread with no pictures? Here's a random picture from the home page. Cheers!

    Really nice work, Rob. Congrats on the launch.

    And now Copenhagen would like her Ed White back.

    That's why I'm not as lucky! I've been following the wrong quote - "chance favors the prepared mind" :mad:
