Hello, my name is Bob and I am from Derbyshire in England. I have been collecting mainly vintage wristwatches for well over a decade now, and am and have been a member at many sites. My collection is eclectic, from WW1 trench watches, Art Deco Bulova, forties, fifties, sixties and seventies run of the mill and a few odd ones.
Here is a photo of one of my favourite watches, taken under a UV light.
Cheers, Bob.

 

Welcome Bob! Glad to have you

 

Welcome Bob, what took you so long to get to the best forum there is !
Seriously though hope you enjoy your time here.

 

Hello @bobbee, welcome to the forum! Those of us interested in vintage watches know you well and are happy you are here. Your willingness to share your knowledge is very much appreciated, and your posted collection of "eclectic adverts" is a useful resource.

 

Many thanks for the welcome, and I'm honoured that you should think my adverts and my vintage knowledge worthy of a mention.
Will potter around and get used to the site, it and the members are renowned in watch circles for the depth of expertise, So see you around.

Regards, Bob.

 

Welcome @bobbee Im excited for all the knowledge you will potentially bestow upon us. Welcome and I hope you enjoy the place

Hi Bob, welcome to the forum!

Hello Bobbe, welcome to OF.

 

Hi Bob. Welcome

 

You need an avatar too by the way
Maybe an apple pie to go with your nickname? Welcome.

 

Welcome - looking forward to seeing your collection and conversing further!

 

Welcome!

Nice entry post too, all too uncommon these days.

Have you got any Bauhaus-inspired watches?

 

Nice of you folk to be so welcoming!
Darlinboy, is this '65 Longines bauhausey enough?





I like Bulova too, these are both from 1953 and are called the 'Berkshire' (white) and the 'Air King'. Sadly no longer with me, but I have a few more.

 

Very good to see you again Bob.

 

Welcome!
