Hi OF!

Childhood watch collection aside (Dick Tracy, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Mickey Mouse etc), I'm very new to the watch world. This year, I will be purchasing my first mechanical watch! Currently looking out for black dial cal 320 chronographs but given their infrequent surfacing I'm continuing to explore other

I'm very much looking forward to learning from you all and hope to contribute meaningfully in time.

Best regards,
Kyle

 

Hello Kyle, welcome to the forum. Make sure any watches you are interested are vetted through the forum before you purchase, not after. The forum can save you a lot of money, not to mention embarrassment. Good luck and happy hunting.

Don't be afraid to ask questions about watches you are interested in. And welcome to the hobby!

 

Welcome to OF.
I'm in Southie, St-Patrick's parade was yesterday on my street. To say it was lively is an understatement!

 

Thank you!! That's what I'm here for and I really appreciate you all for offering your help and sharing your insights and passion

 

Thank you!! Thanks for compiling these! While I'm also generally new to forums, I promise to research my questions here prior to being "that guy" and asking simple, repeatedly-answered questions

 

I can't imagine! Thankfully was a bit sheltered from it (Green Line madness notwithstanding) here on the Boston/Brookline end

 

Here's a sample: the doorbell rang and my wife answered. It was a guy, very drunk, leaning against the door frame while urinating in the hedges. Only in Southie!

 

Yeah....Further confirmation of why an old friend of mine regrets moving from Southie last year

 

Hey everyone, I am new to the forum and a fellow Bostonian as well. Just purchased a brand new speedy pro 311 from a forum member and got it today. Super happy with it!
