 hearteyes.gifI've worn a watch daily for more than 39 years but I didn't start collecting them until last year!  yahoo.gif  Although, I've been very interested in watches for at least the last 25 years.  My humble collection is made up of my older Marathon (hand cranker), Seiko chrono and Tag Heuer 2000 chrono both of which are quartzies.  My newer watches are all automatics and they are comprised of Seiko, Tag Heuer, Debaufre and Doxa.  woohoo.gif    At present I have 8 watches in my collection and I would love to add a few more.  My next watch will be a Pilot/Nav-B style watch which I hope to acquire before the end of the year.  :):):)  After the Nav-B, I would like to add a nice GMT style watch to my collection.  I don't believe I'll ever have a large collection because I have to keep my wife happy.  hearteyes.gifhearteyes.gifhearteyes.gif 

My new hobby of watch collecting has lead me to realize that there are some wonderful craftsmen out there who make some amazing watch straps!  ThumbsUp02.gif  Well, I have purchased two awesome examples from Jeanna at Stone Creek Straps one of which is currently being made.  So, in addition to buying some new watches, I also like to change their look by replacing the stock strap/bracelet with a custom strap. 

I dig being a member of 3T for many reasons, one of which is I get to see watches I will never be able to own.  Thanks for the fun post, cheers.  smile8.gif
