Hi all. I've been active in the forums for the past few months, but decided to make a proper introduction in my 200th post.

Living in Tirana, Albania. Need a bit more than a year to reach 40 years young. I've been seriously into watches for exactly 1 year now. Before that, my father was into watch collecting and dealing for almost a decade, and even though I didn't catch the bug earlier, it somehow must have stayed dormant. Have collected a few pieces over this year, some good and some meh, some with very decent prices and some overpriced, but it's all a process. This forum has helped immensely and most importantly, has made me focus and understand what I really want to collect.

You'll probably see me around asking if a watch is worth purchasing, maybe trying to help someone while admitting I'm a novice myself, and now that I passed the threshold, I'm thinking of selling some of my pieces.

Just for posterity, this is the state of my collection. Have a few more that couldn't make it to the watch box.

Albanian! So… how many languages do you speak? I had a colleague from Albania. He was fluent in 6 or 7 languages.

Nice watches.

Thanks all for the kind words.

I wish! I'm fluent in English and Italian. Maybe a tiny bit of French too from junior school.

So, Sparrow, we meet again.

A man of culture. Funny episode.

Thank you. Most of my posts are asking for opinions on a purchase 😟

It's a small country (less than 3M) but it feels like there's albanians everywhere.
