Hi y'all.
Have been casting about for a nice watch forum so as to add to both enjoyment and understanding of collecting vintage watches. This one looks just right featuring brands I admire and would wish to collect.
A number of watches live around here with a collection of both trash and some few treasures. The favorite brands are Longines, Omega, IWC, and Zenith, in that order I suppose. Other brands are on hand too, collected on a whim. Glycine is one of those with four having been gathered in. The 1945-1970 time period is most esteemed with styles and models from the late '40s to about 1960 being particularly admired. Not a whole lot of careful thought was put into some watch acquisitions over the years so some of the watches are "barkin' dogs," redials, maybe even franken-watches. I can learn though.
Amateur photos have been collected of some watches and can be shared in future. I won't have much time to participate in the forum until later in the fall as we're about to be away on vacation for a few weeks. Who knows; perhaps a watch find will turn up while on the trip.
Other hobbies include reading and collecting antiquarian books, shooting sports and firearms collecting, and coin collecting. Oh, forgot an ongoing effort to collect all the different 20th century Gillette double-edge razor models. Love music, both playing instruments and listening. Classic rock and classical vie for playing time around the house here and the stereo is on far more than the television.
I'm grateful this forum is provided and appreciate reading all the forum thread participation.
