About 2.5 years. I've been collecting them since 1982.

I've only been here for a couple of months, but I'm finding it very interesting and informative. It's interesting that some of you talk of making "friends" through such forums ... I was just teaching one of my grade 11 classes about social groups and how they've become national, and even global today ... Certainly such a forum/group would apply.

Happy Thursday! :)

Just got into this all recently. Always had a fascination with time pieces, clocks and watches of all sort going back to my childhood. ;)

But my love for it is growing more by the day. Or maybe a better word would be lust. :cool:

Perhaps I should have mentioned the watch that started it all:

Poljot Shturmanskie C purchased from Island Watch.

November of 2005. That is when I got back from Disney right after Hurricane Wilma with a fogged Zippo watch and was angry with the jeweler who botched my battery change and didn't replace the gasket. I was determined to find an inexpensive mechanical to avoid future battery changes. I found Russian Vostok watches on the 'Bay, then WUS Russian forum, then PMWF and WUS affordables and now I am here!

I have loved watches since I was a kid, but so much other stuff got in the way first, my band/musical instruments, hi-fi gear, then grad school, marriage, kids, then Zippos...

Cheers,
Griff
