    Hi!

    I've been observing this forum as I have been contemplating getting back into wearing a watch for the past year... and with a recent career milestone it was time to reward myself with my first "luxury watch." Previously, I wore a Seiko Sports 100 Chronograph for 12+ years and it served me very well, but then I started carrying around an iPhone.....

    Thanks to the advice of Bushido, Roach7, Karalhoin, OmegaCard and a few others, I finally bought my first new watch in this millennium :D. Looking forward to learning from all of you... and hopefully not becoming my next obsession...

    Below is a comparison of my new Omega and the Seiko.

    Best regards,
    -ktc :thumbsup:

    Welcome!

    I've got some bad news for you though. Your going to buy more if you stick around.

    Love that Seiko!

    Yup. It's pretty darn low-tech but surprisingly still works when AT&T can't reach my cell phone. Pager is like my other spouse...

    Heh. I'm glad we ditched pagers about 7 years ago and switched to mobile phones. SMS and Whatsapp have totally changed the way we practice.

    And congrats on the new watch!

    Welcome...I'm new to the board myself. I'll second @Foo2rama. I've been on here not even a full month and I've already made my first purchase via a seller on the forum and if I can convince the wife there may be a second one soon! Seems I've been bitten by the bug...just as long as I don't start watching eBay listing for vintage watches I'll be o...look a constellation!
