··Tend not to fret too muchHi all,
I have been hanging around the forum for a little while gaining from the immense experience of other members but now wanted to say hi to everyone.
I have had a big interest in watches all my life but, with 3 kids and a wife to support, have rarely been able to justify the expenditure required to pursue it as a hobby. Now the kids have all finished various Unis and left home for their own lives I feel I have a bit more time and more importantly a little more expendable income to be able to have more fun. I bought my first serious watches as a younger man (Tag aquagraph CN211A and Bell & Ross BR126) which I still have and have more recently acquired a two tone pie-pan Connie (168.004) albeit with a refinished dial.
Today I had delivered a Vulcain Cricket and a Longines 7844 (Cal 345 date) which I purchased from another OF member Mr.Cairo . What a gent he was and I will definitely be leaving appropriate feedback. I am thrilled with the watches and please see photos below used with permission of seller.
I have more interest in vintage pieces at present and unfortunately, although this will not make me popular with some, I have no great affinity for the Speedy in its various forms but maybe it will grow on me eventually.
Anyway enough about me. Hopefully you like the photos below and I look forward to taking a more active part of the forum in future
All the best
Gavin
