Hello everyone. New here so I wanted to introduce myself as suggested.

My real name is Aaron, My username/accounts can be found on multiple platforms and also google. I am located in San Antonio, Texas and in my 20s. I am a timepiece collector and trader. Favorite watch types are tourbillion (of course). Thanks for the ones that have already welcomed me!

No tourbillions yet unfortunately, but currently wearing a simple Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 5. Picked it up yesterday.

Oh man my wife is a huge Tag Heuer fan and has way too many to ever wear in rotation. I love 'em myself too! It's what is usually on my wrist as well. Quartz or automatic makes no difference to us! 👍

Welcome! I've been here for a bit, but still consider myself a newbie due to the constant feed of new information I glean every day here. I believe you've stumbled upon one of the greatest libraries of horological information available, not to mention one helluva community. Enjoy, and looking forward to your future contributions!

What I'm wearing today....picked up from one of the posters on this thread!

A warm welcome. Doesn't always have to be about watches. Let’s hear some music just to start with. Kind regards

Apparently he's too busy out in the field, rototilling posts, to have seen your question. 😎

And there he goes.

I really try very hard to welcome people even when they have an agenda and try to give them the lay of the land. We were all new to collecting, and this place once upon a time. And we let him know how to navigate- yet he kept up the post farming…oh well. Hopefully he can sell whatever he needs to sell so quickly on eBay or Reddit.

Yes, that was nice of you. Well, he was very young. Good lesson learned then. Maybe next time.

You done good JDubs. You done good. I thought that after his slightly unorthodox intro he was going to stick around and stay awhile. I feel ever so slightly bad that I gave him a hard time. Maybe next time I’ll keep my mouth shut. I wish him all the best and maybe he’ll rejoin and have a fresh start. BUT, some pure comedic gold came out of that thread and I will forever have my sights set on the Platinum Champagne Lounge.
