Father Time
路I didn't see an introduction thread, so I figured I would post here. Would a mod please move to some place more appropriate, if needed? You may also want to grab a cup of coffee, to get through all of this...
I guess I should change my name to Moses. I've been doing this horology thing for a few decades now. This certainly is not my 1st rodeo, as I am a member of many other forums where I have thousands of posts. You will probably recognize me and some of my watches.
Some of my other interests are in fishing/fly fishing, where I collect antique items from, old wooden fishing lures to rods, reels, creels, etc. I have a huge fly fishing library filled with books from the 1600's to the present. I also collect firearms, knives and in general, anything that catches my attention, even have a large collection of signed baseballs and baseball cards from the 1950's to the mid 80's. I just like old things... kinda like myself, I guess.
I have many watches with the majority of them being vintage, but I have been known to pick up a few modern along the way, as well. I originally didn't see the allure of diving watches until one day, I woke up and it was like someone threw a light switch on in my brain. Now I love these as well and have several, including a few micro brands (aren't they fun?).
By now (if I haven't lost you) you are probably wondering why I have decide to join this wonderful forum and you knowledgeable members? Well, I saw a watch released at Basal this year and as soon as I laid eyes on it... I knew I had to have it! No one on here has ever done this, right? It was going to be quite expensive (for me at least) and I figured I would never be able to pick it up! Then a very strange thing happened and all of the stars and planets (moons) aligned and I was able to pick up my dream watch while on a very special vacation.
Enough of all my BS and the reason for signing up and all of my excitement, lost sleep, daydreaming, etc. over the last year!...
I opted to have the blue leather replaced with the ss bracelet. I put the blue leather away for safe keeping and will probably have a custom made, down the road.
Sorry for the long introduction but I just can't contain myself or my enthusiasm for this fine timepiece.
I appreciate you sticking with me and please have a wonderful day... I know I will.
Best Regards,
Robert
