Well I just thought I would introduce myself. I am not a true watch collector yet, but I am working on it. I used to wear nothing but digital stuff until 1992 when I bought my first Bulova Marine Star. I bought it as a reinlistment gift to myself for being crazy enough to volunteer one more time. Well after 11 years in the Navy I decided it was time to make some money and leave the fun to others. Around 2001 I bought my Accutron day/date (I will have to get some pics). I have been wearing it ever since. Well while on vacation in Aruba in March this year I did some shoping and seen the world of automatics (not very common here in WV). So after posting to another watch forum and doing some research I have found a couple of watches that I like a lot... I may have to buy one, then the other, and maybe one more.... One will be a new Accutron Auto (I get a real big discount, since a friend sells them) One is a Orient (GMT watch that I like a lot, probably my first upcomming watch) And last but not least I am thinking about a Steinhart GMT Ocean 1... Well there you have it, my first post. As far as other hobby's and such, lets just say it is way to much too list, I think I am a member of at least 20 different forums dealing with 15 or so different subjects. Not sure if I have too much time or not enough.

Most of my digital didn't survive long in the NAVY.... lets just say they took a beating and died a horable death. If it was cheap and was strapped to my wrist it didn't last more than a few months.... I have learned that if I spend a little extra it will last a lot longer... same goes for my sun glasses my cars, my toys in general....
